About
Prof. Alan Wong is recognised as a leading researcher in early fault detection technology for electrical infrastructure and as a successful technology start-up founder and CEO driving significant changes in the power industry.
Prof. Alan Wong has more than 15 years of experience in teaching, research and technology commercialisation. He is the leader of the RMIT High Voltage Research and Teaching Laboratory. He served as the program manager for Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (single & double degrees) and Master of Electrical Engineering degrees at RMIT University since 2001.
Industry experience:
Prof. Alan Wong has more than 15 years of experience working with the power industries in Australia, Asia and the US. He founded IND Technology in 2013 to commercialise the patented EFD technology. The EFD technology is currently used by some of the largest utilities in the US and Australia and has been recognised as one of the most advanced predictive maintenance products to prevent bushfires started by powerline faults.
Awards:
2021:
Clunies Ross Award for Innovation
RMIT Vice-Chancellor's Award for Research Impact
2016:
Fire Awareness Award - Innovation and Design Award
