Vice President (R&I) Brief Profile
With over 20 years of immersion in design education and industry, my career has been dedicated to advancing the integration of design research, innovative educational approaches, and professional design practice. My journey began at 17 with admission to the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Industrial Design at University Technology of Malaysia, followed by a Master of Science in Industrial Design and later a Doctor of Philosophy in Technical and Vocational Education, all at the same institution. These academic milestones not only laid a robust foundation for my design principles but also deepened my expertise in applying design alongside technology, particularly within educational contexts.
Since 2019, I have served as the Dean of the Faculty of Art & Design at Southern University College. As Dean, I strongly believe in the importance of close collaboration with faculty, students, and industry professionals to jointly develop and implement curriculum enhancements that align with industry trends and meet the needs of the design sector. On the academic front, I have actively fostered numerous national and international collaborations, establishing close partnerships with universities in the UK, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, and Singapore. Moreover, I have cultivated deep industry connections with enterprises in China and Thailand.
My dedication to teaching and innovative ideas has earned me recognition with awards for Teaching Excellence. Simultaneously, my research and academic pursuits have been honoured with awards for Research Excellence. As a mentor, I inspire and guide students to success in national and international design competitions, earning multiple honours as the Best Mentor in various design competitions. I am delighted to emphasize that in 2020, at an international furniture exhibition, I played a key role in securing the prestigious award for Best Institution in a furniture competition.
In my role as Vice President (Research and Innovation) at Southern University College, I prioritize effective communication, teamwork, and mutual understanding to foster high-performing teams. Beyond academia, my passion for travel has taken me to over 18 countries, enriching my perspectives through diverse cultural engagements. Travel serves as more than a leisure pursuit; it is an opportunity for profound exploration and learning, facilitating the adaptation of innovative concepts in managing people and resources. Travel broadens my perspectives on global issues, trends, and innovations, enabling me to bring a broader outlook to research and educational strategies.
超过20年的设计教育和设计行业经验,近年来专注于推动设计研究、创新教育理念及设计专业的融合。17岁时,我通过马来西亚工艺大学的考试与面试选拔,获得工业设计学士学位入学资格,为我的设计原理和技法奠定了坚实基础。随后,我在同校取得工业设计硕士学位,这段教育经历为我的职业生涯打下了基础,使我能够深入理解设计应用。此外,我还在同一所大学获得了教育技术的博士学位,进一步加深了在设计与技术交叉领域的见解,专注于其在教育领域的应用。
自2019年起,我担任南方大学学院艺术与设计学院的院长。作为院长,我深信与教职员工、学生和行业专业人士紧密合作的重要性,共同开发和实施符合行业趋势的课程改进,以满足设计行业的需求。在学术方面,我积极推动了多项国内外合作,与英国、印尼、中国、台湾和新加坡等国际高等院校建立了紧密的合作关系。此外,我还与中国和泰国的企业建立了深入的学术和商业联系。
以教学热情和创新理念让我获得了教学卓越奖的认可。同时,我的研究和学术追求也荣获了卓越研究奖。作为导师,我激励和指导学生在国内外的设计比赛中取得成功,荣获多个国内外设计比赛的最佳导师荣誉。值得一提的是,我在2020年带领设计系学生在一场国内知名的家具设计比赛中荣获了最佳学府的大奖。
作为南方大学学院副校长(研究与创新),我深信通过沟通、团队精神和互相理解,才能打造出一个优质的工作团队。我热爱旅游,至今已探索过18个以上的国家。旅游不仅是我的休闲方式,更是与外界交流的途径,体现了人类探索精神的本质。这种开放的态度让我能够积极探索和研究新事物,包容并学习不同文化的特点,并运用创新的概念有效管理人事物。周游列国拓宽了我的世界观、课题趋势和创新的视觉,是我能够为研究和教育战略带来更广阔的视野。
