Dr. Liang Jie Wong is an Associate Professor (with Tenure) in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University. He received his PhD and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his BS degree in the same field from the University of California, Berkeley. He was a National Science Scholar and a postdoctoral fellow in the mathematics department at MIT. He was awarded the Nanyang Assistant Professorship and the MOE Inauguration Grant START Award in 2019; and recognized as one of ten Global Winners in the Physical Sciences category of the Falling Walls Breakthrough of the Year Awards 2024. His research focuses on X-ray photonics and free electron-driven quantum science. He serves as Deputy Director of the CN Yang Scholars Programme, Associate Editor of Optics Express, and Technical Committee Member of CLEO USA. He served as an Elected Member of the School Board from 2022-2024.
His research has appeared in prominent journals including Nature Photonics, Nature Physics, Advanced Science, Nature Communications, and Physical Review Letters, and has been featured in international media outlets including MIT News, the Straits Times, Optica Newsroom, Physics World, Laser Focus World, and Asia Research News.
