Dr Wai-keung Fung
Senior Lecturer in Electronics Robotics & or Control Engineering
Cardiff School of Technologies
Overview
Dr Wai-keung Fung received his PhD degree from the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2001. His research interests include Autonomous Robotics, Computational Intelligence and Human-machine Interaction. He had postdoctoral research experience at Michigan State University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Then, he was an academic in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) and the School of Engineering at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom. He joined Cardiff Metropolitan University’s School of Technologies in July 2020. He is also the Programme Director of the BEng(Hons)/MEng in Electronics and Computer Systems Engineering and the co-lead of the EUREKA Robotics Centre in the Cardiff School of Technologies. In addition, he has been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) since 2015, an IEEE Senior Member since January 2009 and a member of IET since October 2017.
