Kai-Kit Wong received the B.Eng., the M.Phil., and the Ph.D. degrees, all in electrical and electronic engineering, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, in 1996, 1998, and 2001, respectively. After graduation, he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Hong Kong as a Research Assistant Professor. From July 2003 to December 2003, he visited the Wireless Communications Research Department of Lucent Technologies, Bell-Labs, Holmdel, NJ, USA, where he was a Visiting Research Scholar studying optimization in broadcast MIMO channels. After that, he then joined the Smart Antennas Research Group of Stanford University as a Visiting Assistant Professor conducting research on overloaded MIMO signal processing. From 2005 to August 2006, he was with the Department of Engineering, the University of Hull, UK, as a Communications Lecturer. Since August 2006, he has been with University College London Adastral Park Campus where he is a Senior Lecturer. He has worked in several areas including multiuser mobile networks, information theory, smart antennas, space-time processing/coding, and channel equalization. His current research interests center around the cross-layer optimization in wireless multimedia networks, multiuser detection problems, and indoor remote positioning. Dr. Wong is a Member of IEEE and is also on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. Dr. Wong won the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Japan Chapter Award of the International IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference, Spring 2000, and was also a corecipient of the First Prize Paper Award in the IEEE Signal Processing Society Postgraduate Forum Hong Kong Chapter, in 2004. In 2002 and 2003, he received, respectively, the SY King Fellowships and the WS Leung Fellowships from the University of Hong Kong.
