After earning a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering and an MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Dr. Wong joined the industry for 7 years. Dr. Wong first worked as a R&D engineer in an HVAC company and then as a Stability and Control Engineer in an aerospace startup company before embarking on doctoral study. As such, Dr. Wong likes to relate fundamental theories and knowledge with real-life experiences or cases to enhance student learning experiences.

Dr. Wong also involves multi-disciplinary consultancy work that applies HVAC technical knowledge to industrial problems. One of them is applying HVAC technical knowledge to analyse animal heat stress. This project involves collaboration between academics, mechanical engineers, and veterinarians to understand and solve the problem.

Sponsors/Grant: RM 39,910.75

All external consulting projects listed below are in collaboration with Dr. Matthew Dunn (1, 2 & 3) and veterinarians Dr. Richard Shephard (1 & 2) and Prof. Ronald Slocombe (3).

1) Vessel Heat Stress Technology Trial Program – Sheep (Completed in Sept 2019).
Funded by: LiveCorp Ltd, Sydney, Australia. The LiveCorp board is accountable to the Minister of Agriculture, Australia for the expenditure of funds appropriated by the Australian Parliament.
The University of Sydney team provided services such as: advice on trial methodology, on-site trials, data cleaning, plotting, & interpretation, HVAC calculations, performance analysis & evaluation, and the writing up of the majority of the report.
A short video of the project: Trialling dehumidification technology on a livestock export vessel – YouTube

2) Dehumidifier Performance Analysis for Maritime Livestock Transport (Completed in Jul 2021).
Funded by: LiveCorp Ltd, Sydney, Australia. The LiveCorp board is accountable to the Minister of Agriculture, Australia for the expenditure of funds appropriated by the Australian Parliament.
A technical review and first principles estimate of the rate of heat production of sheep was combined with a review of respiratory physiology, thermoregulatory controls, and thermodynamic equations for respiratory evaporative cooling to build a sheep respiratory model.

3) Expert Opinion report (Completed in Dec 2021).
Funded by: HFW Australia. HFW Australia is an Australian legal firm with several branches throughout Australian state capitals.
This report describes ventilation, oxygen supply, carbon dioxide removal/dispersion, and dissipation of metabolic heat in stationary livestock vehicles while carrying horses by road and while stationary on-board ship with the help of the ANSYS – FLUENT Species Transport Model simulation.

Best oral presentation 2012
