Ling Bing KONG obtained his PhD, MSc and BSc degrees from Xi’an Jiaotong University, The University of Science and Technology of China, and Anhui Educational Institute, P. R. China, in 1997, 1992 and 1989, respectively. He joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) of Singapore, in Jan. 1998, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Two years late, he moved to the School of Materials Science and Engineering, NTU, as a Research Fellow, working for another two years. Then, he joined the Temasek Laboratories, National University of Singapore (TL@NUS), in Apr. 2002 as a Research Scientist initially and a Senior Research Scientist later. In Feb. 2012, he returned to NTU, as an Associate Professor. His research interests include processing and characterization of functional ceramics, electromagnetic composite materials and functional nanomaterials. He has published 190 journal papers, with an ISI total citation number of >3000 and an H-index of 30, 2 books, 8 book chapters, and >60 conference presentations/abstracts.
