Dr. Wei Wen Wong is currently a Research Fellow at the Research School of Physics, Australian National University (ANU), and a Research Program Manager at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS). He received his Bachelor’s degree from Multimedia University, Malaysia, in 2016, and completed his PhD at ANU in 2023. From 2016 to 2018, he worked as a Product and Failure Analysis Engineer at Cypress Semiconductor.

Dr. Wong’s research focuses on the epitaxy of low-dimensional compound semiconductor structures, as well as the design and fabrication of novel photonic, optoelectronic, and metasurface optical devices. He has co-authored over twenty papers in high-impact journals, including Science Advances, Nano Letters, Laser & Photonics Reviews, and ACS Nano. He was a recipient of the Jim Williams Award and the Director’s Award for Early and Mid Career Researcher Publication at the ANU Research School of Physics for excellence in research and teaching, and was selected as the sole ANU early career researcher representative at the 2024 Global Young Scientists Summit in Singapore. In 2025, he received the Early Career Researcher of the Year Award from the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for TMOS. In recognition of his ongoing research impact, he was selected to contribute to the 2027 Rising Stars Collection in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.
