Biography
Professor Leong holds concurrent appointments as Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and Fellow in the Renaissance Engineering Programme (REP), the premier engineering programme in NTU. He received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Queensland, Australia in 1999, the M.S.M.E. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1986 and the B.Eng.(Mech.) degree from the National University of Singapore in 1981. He served as the Vice-Dean (Academic) in the School of MAE from June 2002 to May 2006 and then as Associate Chair (Academic) from June 2006 to May 2008. Professor Leong’s research areas encompass the application of single and two phase heat transfer for the thermal management of electronic packages, and adsorption cooling systems. He has been principal investigator and active co-investigator for many research projects funded by NTU and external funding agencies and is the author or co-author of more than 85 papers in refereed international journals, more than 65 papers in conference proceedings and 5 book chapters. He is a Senior Member of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore and a Registered Professional Engineer in Singapore.
