Education
Professional Experience
- Affiliate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stony
Brook University
- Chair, Geosciences Deparment, Stony Brook University
Research Interests and History
Professor Wong’s research interest is in rock mechanics, with
focus on earthquake mechanics, energy resources and environmental applications.
He investigates both the phenomenological and micromechanical aspects
of geomaterial deformation, using an approach integrating high-pressure
deformation experiment, quantitative characterization of microstructure,
and theoretical analysis. Topics currently under investigation include
mechanical and transport properties, brittle fracture, frictional instability,
and brittle-ductile transition in crystal rocks.
