Professor Basil T. Wong serves as Director of the School of Research and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, Malaysia. He leads the Energy, Heat Transfer, Nanotech & HVAC research group within the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science.
His educational background includes a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal-Fluid) from the University of Kentucky, USA. His doctoral research focused on thermal transport modeling for electron beam applications and nanoprobe field emission.
Professor Wong's research centers on nanoscale thermal phenomena with emphasis on:
- Nanoscale heat conduction by electrons and phonons
- Advanced cooling methods for micro/nanoscale systems
- Solar photovoltaic efficiency improvement through near-field radiation
- Electron-beam applications and radiative heat transfer
- Monte Carlo simulation methodologies
His publication record spans high-impact journals including International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer and Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, demonstrating consistent contributions to thermal engineering and nanotechnology since 2002. Recent work focuses on nano-gap thermophotovoltaics and phonon transport in silicon nanostructures.
Professional credentials include:
- Professional Engineer (Board of Engineers Malaysia)
- Chartered Engineer (UK)
- Member, Institution of Mechanical Engineers (UK)
As a supervisor, Professor Wong actively recruits PhD and Master's students for research in nanoscale thermal transport. His lab maintains international collaborations and emphasizes both theoretical modeling and practical applications for sustainable energy solutions. Current projects include nanoscale cooling techniques and solar energy harvesting innovations.
