BIOGRAPHY

Professor Dr. Bernardine Renaldo Wong Cheng Kiat (born 20 May 1957 in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia) studied in the University of Malaya (UM) and was awarded a B. Sc. in Science (Second Upper Honours, Physics) in 1980,  M. Sc. (Physics, 1983) and Ph. D. (Physics, 1989) degrees in the field of nuclear reaction theory. After serving as an Instructor at the P. J. Community College from 1988 – 1993, he joined UM as a Lecturer on December 7, 1993, was promoted to Associate Professor in 1999, and subsequently was promoted to Professor in 2006. He has over thirty years of undergraduate teaching experience, primarily in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering courses with a focus on the use of computational methods. He has developed and promoted the use of Excel, Matlab, Fortran, and C/C++ software in teaching and research and has taught Computational Mathematics at postgraduate level in the Engineering Faculty. Prof. Bernardine has thirty-five years of experience in theoretical physics in the study of nuclear reaction processes caused by the interactions of heavy nuclei. He has published fifty papers in local and international journals as well as in conference proceedings. His research has been supported by IRPA, SAGA, UMRG and UM-LiTeR grants. His research received a Bronze Medal at the Research, Invention & Innovation Expo in 2005. He has been invited to present invited talks at international conferences. To date, 5 Ph. Ds and 5 M. Sc. degrees have been conferred under his supervision. He currently supervises two Ph. D. candidates. Prof. Bernardine has received Excellent Service Awards from UM for the years 2003 and 2006, and Excellent Service Certificates for the years 1998 and 2007. Prof. Bernardine has held administrative positions at the International & Corporate Relations Office as Deputy Director (September 26, 2007 – January 14, 2010). In this role, Prof. Bernardine has served to build linkages between UM and other higher education institutions of international repute. He served as Acting Director, Kong Zi Institute for the Teaching of Chinese Language from January 15, 2010 – October 31, 2010, to promote the teaching of Mandarin to the Malaysian public. From January 15, 2010 – January 14, 2013, he was Director of the University of Malaya Centre for Continuing Education (UMCCed) to develop it into a centre of excellence in the field of continuing education through the provision of courses at certificate and executive diploma levels. During his tenure, UMCCed has been recognised as an Academic Responsibility Centre which offers accredited Executive Diploma programmes to the public via the self-accreditation mechanism of UM. Professor Bernardine has led UMCCed in the development and provision of fulltime Diploma programmes, which was realised in July 2013. Prof. Bernardine assisted in the establishment of the private university of UM since January 2010, to realise the International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW) which has now been established and operates at the City Campus, Jalan Tun Ismail. He served as Vice-President (Academic, Research & Internationalisation) from January 15, 2013 – October 31, 2014. During his tenure thirty (30) programmes were approved. Prof. Bernardine worked with colleagues from the University of Wales to lay the groundwork for the dual-degree programmes. Prof. Bernardine assisted the President/CEO of IUMW to ensure that IUMW becomes an exemplary and innovative international Higher Education Institution. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the International University of Malaya-Wales. Since November 3, 2014 Prof. Bernardine has resumed his role as a Professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, UM.
