Brief bibliography
Male, born 1970 in Butterworth, Malaysia.
Presently an associate professor in the school of physics, USM, Penang.
Graduated from the Chung Ling High School with SPM and STPM in late 1980's and
early 1990. In his high school years, he was academically good in almost
nothing but physics and vowed to be a physicist since his youth after reading
two popular science books on astrophysics and cosmology by Fang Lizi. Out of 5
subjects, he scored his only A in STPM for the physics paper. Hence, he entered
the University of Malaya as his first choice to major in physics. After
receiving his B.Sc. (Hons) he continued with his M.Sc. under the supervision of
then Prof. Chia Swee Ping on some do-it-once-a-life-time-is-enough sort of
lengthy exact calculation on certain quark- level flavor changing neutral
current processes (and yet he survived the ordeal!). For two years he served as
a lecturer in the Tunku Abdul Rahman College and KDU Penang respectively. His
students called him 'Sir' so much so that he felt a bit uneasy. Fortunately, in
1999, he was offered a full scholarship to further his Ph.D. at the University
of Melbourne, majoring in high energy physics.
After
joining USM, he has since transitioned his research interests to computational
physics. His expertise now encompasses a broad range of topics in computational
materials science, including molecular dynamics simulations, computational
electromagnetics, and density functional theory (DFT). He is also the appointed
leader of the Computational and Theoretical Physics group in the School of
Physics, USM. In recent years, he has developed a keen interest in applying
machine learning techniques to both physics-related and interdisciplinary
topics. This approach has allowed his team to gain insights into systems that
were previously considered too complex or challenging to analyse using
traditional methods.
The guiding principle of his life is: Be proactive and
diligent, in search of something eternal.
简历
男，1970年出生于马来西亚北海，现任槟城理科大学物理系副教授。1988年(高中，SPM)及1990年(先修班，STPM)毕业于槟城锺灵中学，课业 上几乎一无所长，惟好物理，少年时即立志成为物理学家。STPM五科试卷中独以物理一科考获A等，自认理所当然以第一志愿入读马大物理系。后继续留校在谢 瑞平教授指导下完成硕士论文。曾先后在拉曼学院与槟城KDU学院误人子弟，前后为期两载。后来幸而获奖学金负笈澳洲墨尔本大学攻读博士学位，专攻高能粒子 物理。此乃其生命中最大的转折点，感恩所有因缘。
加入槟城理科大学后，他的研究方向开始转变，改攻计算物理。现在的专长涵盖了计算材料科学中的各类课题，包括分子动力学模拟、计算电磁学和密度泛函理论（DFT）等等。他还被物理系委任为计算与理论物理组的组长，带领一群志同道合的研究生。近几年，他对将机器学习技术应用于物理以及其他跨领域的课题产生了浓厚的兴趣。这种方法让他的团队得以深入理解那些以传统方法难以分析或被视为过于复杂的系统。
生命中的指南原则是 - 积极精进，寻找一种永远.
