Dr. Khong Yin Jou completed his Master of Engineering with first class honours as top 3 in the class in 2015 from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, with his final year project involving investigation and design of charge controller of battery and supercapacitor arrays in a solar photovoltaic cabin. He was recruited by Intel Microelectronics as a graduate trainee in SoC design of PCH in 2015 and worked there for a year before being accepted by the University of Cambridge for a PhD in engineering in 2016. He successfully completed his PhD in 2021 with a thesis titled "Bipolar metal oxide thin film diodes", being a Commonwealth scholar fully funded by the UK government. He accrued valuable experience in undergraduate teaching by demonstrating in various undergraduate engineering laboratories throughout his time in working towards his PhD degree. Besides, he has personally guided and trained final year undergraduate students to perform experiments for their final year projects in the clean room and measurement laboratories. He has been active in the academia as various committee positions of several Malaysian- and ASEAN-focused research conferences based in Malaysian and the UK in 2018-2020.  He has also taken part in a voluntary STEM communication and exposure project for the pre-university students, called the Science Seekers program, jointly organised by 100 Scientists of Malaysia and Immersion Experience for Malaysian Youths (IMEX) as a content creator for the engineering discipline. He is currently the Chief Technology Officer of Intograd, a non-profit start-up to improve accessibility to postgraduate study through tailored mentorships and quality resources. He first joined Monash University as a sessional staff towards completion of his PhD in early 2021, having been assisting in ENG1002 Engineering design: Cleaner, safer, smarter, and ECE3141 Information and Networks. In mid-2021, he signed for Monash University as an assistant lecturer in the Electrical & Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE) discipline, School of Engineering. He is currently the unit coordinator for ENG1013 Engineering Smart Systems and ECE4132 Control Systems Design.
