Sung Wing Kin, Ken

I have moved to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. My email address is kwksung@cuhk.edu.hk.

Prof. Wing-Kin Sung (宋永健) received both the B.Sc. and the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong in 1993, 1998, respectively. He is a professor in the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing, NUS. He is also a senior group leader in Genome Institute of Singapore. He is also a senior group leader in Genome Institute of Singapore. He has over 25 years of experience in Bioinformatics and Computational genomic research. Prof. Sung has published 286 research papers (45 papers with IF>10, 41 papers with 10>IF>5). These papers report original and improved (and sometimes optimal) solutions in bioinformatics and their applications in biomedical research. His current H-index is 67. His papers have received 29,234 citations. He teaches courses on bioinformatics for both undergraduate and postgraduate. He was conferred the 2003 FIT paper award (Japan), the 2006 National Science Award (Singapore), and the 2008 Young Researcher Award (NUS) for his research contribution in bioinformatics and algorithm.
