Dr. Wong joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2014. His research focuses on both experimental and computational methods to unravel complex reaction pathways in energy and environmental problems. Before joining the faculty at UMass Lowell, Dr. Wong was a principal engineer at Aerodyne Research, Inc. and served as Principal Investigator for several federally funded, multi-institutional projects. Dr. Wong was also a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, under the mentorship of Prof. William H. Green, Jr., where he worked on developing detailed kinetic models for predicting yield bounds of selective propylene oxidation on bifunctional catalysts. Dr. Wong received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, under the mentorship of Prof. Linda J. Broadbelt, where he studied polystyrene and polypropylene pyrolysis chemistry and silane pyrolysis chemistry.
