Dr Wai Lok Woo
Director of Operations

Lok Woo

Smart Sensing Signal Processing - Development of intelligent unified system linking data acquisition, signal analysis, information mining, adaptive filtering, noise cancellation, neural network, event detection, and decision management including signal processing for smart grids.

Biometrics Security and Pattern Recognition - Our research treats biometric data as highly dynamic and nonlinear, leading to a new paradigm of spatio-temporal pattern recognition problems for physiological- and behavioural-based biometrics.

Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation - Development of non-destructive testing and evaluation for defect detection and quantify microstructural changes in metals. Pioneered research in eddy current pulse thermography for structural health monitoring.
