Backgrounds

Dr. Han Yi Chiew completed his B.Eng. (Hons.) degree in electronic and communication engineering from Curtin University Australia in December 2015, and Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from Curtin University Malaysia in February 2020. The title of his Ph.D. thesis is “Gait Analysis using Inertial Measurement Units for Rehabilitation”. He joined Curtin University Malaysia in March 2020 at the age of 27, and since then he actively integrates industry practices into his teaching and fosters inclusivity with assistive technologies for students with disabilities. As a program coordinator, he has also led successful course re-accreditations with the Malaysian Qualification Agency and Engineers Australia.
