Biography
Dr. Yap Yee Jiun was born on 10 August 1978 in Malaysia. In 1992, he moved to Singapore and studied at New Town Secondary School, developing a keen interest in physics. During his studies at Catholic Junior College (Singapore) from 1996 to 1997, he was selected for the Nurturing Talented Undergraduates: Residential Technology Induction Programme on 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@'s Courses at Nanyang Technological 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ (Singapore). He began his undergraduate studies in 1998 at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Manchester with financial aid from an award under the British Scholarship Scheme 1998, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics with Astrophysics. He then moved to London and continued his studies in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Brunel 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@, receiving his doctorate (Doctor of Philosophy) in 2006. He returned to Malaysia and joined the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems (MIMOS) in 2006 as a Senior 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@er. He was elected a Member of the Institute of Physics (UK) in 2007 before becoming a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Malaya (Malaysia) in 2009. In 2014, he joined the Department of Applied Mathematics at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to Associate Professor with effect from 1st January 2018. He received the Gold 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Award from the Faculty of Engineering (FOE) in December 2018 and assumed the position of Head of Department (HOD) for the Department of Applied Mathematics on 1st February 2019. He became Head of School (HOS) after the Department of Applied Mathematics evolved into the School of Mathematical Sciences in February 2019, following his initiation for a change. While serving as the HOS, he established the Industrial Advisory Board within the school and also developed a new Bachelor of Science (BSc) Mathematics and Data Science programme which was launched in 2021. During his tenure as the HOS, he developed a Master of Philosophy (Applied Mathematics) programme and a Doctor of Philosophy (Applied Mathematics) programme which were launched in 2023. He received the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Excellence Award and the Teaching Excellence Award from the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FOSE) in 2021. He signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Algae International Berhad on 21 December 2022, thereby establishing a university-industry research collaboration. He became the Co-Director of Smart Systems 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Cluster in 2023 and established two data science research units: Mathematical and Statistical Modeling 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Group as well as Machine Learning 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ Group. He received the 34th International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition (ITEX) 2023 Silver Medal under the Biotechnology classification as the sole inventor. In 2024, he took up the role of Associate Editor of Frontiers in Physics (indexed in Web of Science, SCIE (Physics, Multidisciplinary), ranked Q2 in 2024).
