Biography
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering, University of Warwick, UK.
I obtained my PhD degree in Electronics & Electrical Engineering from The University of Melbourne Australia, Melbourne, Australia in 2012, under the supervision of Prof. Erik Weyer, where I worked modelling and control design of river systems.
Here are my previous roles prior joining University of Warwick:
Assistant Professor in Control Engineering in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Automotive Engineering, Coventry University, UK from 2018-2021.
Research Fellow in Warwick Integrative Synthetic Biology Centre (WISB), School of Engineering, University of Warwick UK, in the research group of Prof. Declan Bates from 2015-2018.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) in Pohang, South Korea from 2012-2015, in the research group of Dr. Pan-Jun Kim.
Tutor/Lecturer in Faculty of Engineering, Multimedia University, Malaysia from 2002-2007.
My primary research interests are dynamical systems modelling and control of biological system. I have mostly studied on plant gene regulatory network and my research mainly focuses on application of engineering design principles for synthetic biology application to improve crop productivity.
