Short Biography
I was a PhD candidate and tutor at Monash University Malaysia. My research topic is biological stress inspired models for reinforcement learning for artificial learning agent. I had published several CORE ranked conference papers. Some of my publication published with high (>5.0) Thomson Reuters’s ISI impact factor. I am an active researcher in biological inspired artificial intelligence research field. In addition to that, I am a visiting researcher at Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) at Tokyo, Japan for four months to engage in biological inspired artificial intelligence research. I am also an Innovation Ambassador for Malaysia at Genovasi (The only official Standford's Design Thinking School in Malaysia). Design Thinking is an innovation methodology processes that were used to innovate Apple's products (e.g. The first Mac’s mouse, iPhone, iPad and etc). Moreover, I had conducted some workshops on Design Thinking innovation methodology to promote innovation at Monash University Malaysia. I also created many innovative robotic workshops for students at Monash University Malaysia (e.g. Open day, Boot Camp, Monash Discovery Day and etc). I am a FIRST LEGO League Malaysia Open Championship 2014 Judge. Also, I had created my own LEGO Mindstorm robotic competition called the Droidball Championship. Furthermore, I'm also interested in robotic development in open platform. For example, ROS (Robot Operating System), Android platform and etc, I had contributed several open source robot platform packages to ros.org.
