Research Interests

Dr. Wong received his B.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. From 1996 to 2008, he taught at Department of Physics, CUHK, as instructor and then senior instructor. From 2000 to 2004, he studied Christian theology and was awarded Master of Christian Studies by Lutheran Theological Seminary. In 2009, he came to the Office of University General Education as senior lecturer. For a long time, he has been taking up administrative work as Associate Programme Director and presently Deputy Programme Director. His research interests include theoretical solid-state physics, history of science and the dialogue between science and religion. Dr. Wong is active in teaching. In recent years, his attention has been paid to science education, core-text general education and gifted education.
