Dr. Wong Kok Hoe is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Southampton Malaysia Campus (UoSM).

He obtained his BEng, Meng, and Ph.D. degrees from University of Malaya, Malaysia in 2010, 2013, and 2019 respectively. He conducted his research internship at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada under the Canada-ASEAN scholarship in 2018. Before joining UoSM, he worked at Daikin R&D centre from 2010 to 2014 as a design engineer responsible for air-cooled rooftop packaged air conditioning unit development and testing. His research focus is on wind energy, particularly vertical axis wind turbines and product design. With his research team, he has won several special and gold awards in invention and innovation expos, including PECIPTA, MTE, EINIX, IIDEX, National Intellectual Property Award, and a WIPO medal. Dr Wong has secured three grants as the principal investigator in 2020 and 2021, which are the university grant, UoSM Seed Fund; the fundamental scheme research grant (FRGS) by the ministry of higher education (MoHE) and an international grant, Fiscal 2020 Grant for Japan-related Research Project by the Sumitomo Foundation. He has co-authored 20 indexed journal papers. He served as a scientific committee member of the International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Green Technology (SEGT) and the lead guest editor of journal special issue for Frontiers in Energy Research and Applied System Innovations. He is a member of topical advisory panel for Applied System Innovations, editorial board member of Journal of Modern Green Energy, and reviewer of prestigious journals including Journal of Building Engineering, Energy, Energy Reports, Energies, Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessment, etc.
