Professor Wai Tung Ng received his B.A.Sc., M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto, in 1983, 1985 and 1990, respectively. His graduate research work focused on analog integrated circuits design and smart power integrated fabrication processes. In 1990, Dr. Ng joined the Semiconductor Process and Development Center of Texas Instruments, Dallas TX, to work on LDMOS power transistors for automotive applications. His academic career started in 1992 when he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, atthe University of Hong Kong. Dr. Ng joined the University of Toronto in 1993. He was promoted to associate professor in 1998 and full professor in 2008. His research interests cover a wide spectrum, ranging from advanced MOS and RF BJT device designs to analog circuits. He has published extensively in the areas of VLSI power management circuits, integrated DC-DC converters, smart power integrated circuits, power semiconductor devices and fabrication processes. His most notable recent contribution is to improve the power conversion efficiency and transient response in digitally controlled low power DC-DC converters for portable electronics. Prof. Ng is also serving at the chair of the IEEE Toronto Section (2010-2011). |
