About this sites

This sites is built as a medium for me to communicate to you. If you are finding this sites via Google, you are, generally speaking, is a Computer Scientist looking for a place to continue a postgraduate study in Malaysia or Asia, alhtough it is not necessarily so. I am a lecturer in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), or translated as University Science of Malaysia. I am affiliated with the School of Computer Science.

If you have been doing some searching about this uni (USM), you will notice slightly variety of addresses. There are 3 campuses accross the country. The main campus is in Penang. The second one is in Kelantan dan the third one is in Nibong Tebal, also in Penang - except it is on the mainland. The different campuses just created to cater the variety of courses. In general, the campus in Kelantan is related to medicine and dentistry. The one in Nibong Tebal is also known as the USM Engineering Campus, which is exactly what it is. While other school: pure science, applied science, arts stream, art, phramaceutical, dietetic and many others are in the main campus.

And thus, School of Computer Science, USM is resided in the main campus - on an island.

My research is in Natural Language Processing from Computer Science perspective mainly, but not limited to it. Specifically, my domain is in Speech Synthesis, also known as Text-to-Speech System and Automatic Speech Generation. I am also interested in Corpus Design and Development, study on resource poor languages and applications therof.

If you are indeed looking for a supervisor (MSc or PhD) but not sure if your topic is covered by me, you may simply contact me and I would do my best to help. Should your chosen topic is not included in my domain, I will be happy to forward you to a possible supervisor candidate.
