Biography

Keat Ghee Ong received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kentucky in 1997, 1998, and 2000, respectively. He joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI in 2006. In 2019, he joined the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the University of Oregon as Professor of Bioengineering. Ong is a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors and is on the editorial boards of multiple sensor-related journals. His research centers around implantable sensors, wireless sensors, electronic devices, and magneto-elastic materials. He was involved in the development and implementation of several wireless sensor technologies, including magneto-elastic resonant sensors and inductive-capacitive resonant circuit sensors for biomedical applications. Currently, he focuses on the development of “smart implants,” which are based on wireless sensor/actuator platforms that can not only monitor physiological conditions in real time but also react and adapt to changes to improve treatment outcomes.
