Personal profile

Biography

KokSheik is an Associate Professor in the School of Information Technology at Monash University Malaysia, where he is also the Deputy Head (Research), overseeing all research related matters in the school. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in both Computer Science and Mathematics from Utah State University, USA, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. In 2009, he received the Doctor of Engineering degree from Shinshu University, Japan, under the Monbukagakusho scholarship.

As an educator, Dr. Wong teaches “Theory of Computation” and “Information Technology Research Methods”, each being a fundamental subject in the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, respectively. His teaching philosophy is “Nothing is too difficult to learn.”

Research interests

KokSheik's research interests include multimedia signal processing and cybersecurity. He actively contributes to the research community as associate editor at IEEE Signal Processing Letters, and the Journal of Information Security and Applications. He is also a member of the Information Forensics and Security (IFS) technical committee of IEEE Signal Processing Society, where he takes up an additional role as IFS representative in the Challenges and Data Collections committee. In addition, he is a member of the Board of Governors: Members-at-large in the Asia Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA), and a member of the APSIPA Multimedia Security and Forensics (MSF) technical committee.

Recently, Dr. Wong ventured into digital health, where he leads a work package in a European Union grant - WAge (101137207) to research on evidence-based interventions for promotion of mental and physical health in changing working environments (post-pandemic workplaces). 

Supervision interests
