Wing-Hung Ki received the B.Sc. degree from the University of California, San Diego, in 1984, the M.Sc. degree from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1985, and the Engineer degree and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1990 and 1995, respectively, all in electrical engineering.

Ki joined Micro Linear Corporation, San Jose, CA, in 1992 as a Senior Design Engineer in the Department of Power and Battery Management, working on the design of power converter controllers. He then joined The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1995, where he is now a Professor with the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. His research interests are power management circuits and systems, switch mode power converters, switched-capacitor power converters, low dropout regulators, bandgap references, micro-power energy harvesting circuits, RFID and micro-sensor circuits, and fundamental research in analog integrated circuit analysis and design.

Ki is serving on the International Technical Program Committee (ITPC) of the IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC, known as Chip Olympiad) since 2009; and served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (2004-2005). He was the recipient of the Asia Innovator Award (1998) granted by EDN Asia; the Outstanding Design Award (2004) and the Special Feature Award (2006) of the LSI University Design Contest organized by the Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference; the Best Paper Award of the IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronic Devices (2007) and the IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Circuits (2009); and the Student Paper Contest (First Prize) of the IEEE Int'l. Symp. on Circ. and Syst., (2011).
