Professor Alan Wong
Professor in High Voltage Engineering
Professor in High Voltage Engineering
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.
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.
Professor Alan Wong is an inventor and innovator whose new approach to identifying fire risks in power networks has spawned an international business. Professor Wong designed and developed Early Fault Detection technology which is able to detect and locate potential threats to power grids, allowing these threats to be addressed before the grid fails, protecting against potential catastrophic outcomes.
Prof. Alan Wong leads the high voltage research group at the University. He has a special research focus in nano-dielectric materials, partial discharge detection on outdoor insulation systems, development of intelligent sensors and networks using Internet-of-things (IoT) architecture, and machine learning algorithms.
