Dr Matthew W.C. Tang
Associate Teaching Professor

I am now an Associate Teaching Professor in Digital Electronics and VLSI Design in the Department of Engineering in the University of Cambridge.

I have over 15 years of teaching experiences in the areas of digital electronics, microprocessor systems and integrated circuit (VLSI) design and taught in Hong Kong, Beijing and London. I have extensive management experience as Undergraduate Programme Director and Director of Student Innovation Centre.

I am interested in active learning pedagogies like blended learning and co-creation (students as partners). I am also passionate about outreach activities and have been promoting electrical and electronic engineering to youngsters around UK.

Engineering is ever-changing - our future engineers have to be knowledgeable, skillful and innovative, and it begins with outstanding engineering education.

Short Biography

I finished my B.Eng in Computer Engineering, MPhil and PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2003, 2005 and 2008 respectively.

I am now teaching at the Department of Engineering in the University of Cambridge.

Previously, I worked as a Senior Lecturer in Computer Engineering at the School of Electric Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). I taught regularly in the QMUL-BUPT Joint Programme (JP) and was the Director of the Joint Student Innovation Centre and the Programme Director of the Internet of Things Engineering Programme. I received the Teaching Excellence Award from BUPT-QMUL Joint Programme in 2017/18.

Before joining QMUL, I was a Lecturer of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of CUHK. There I received the Dean's Exemplary Teaching awards three times in 2010, 2011 & 2013.
