Dr Khoo Hee Kooi Email: heekooi.khoo@kdupg.edu.my Dr. Khoo Hee Kooi joined UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College in year 2013, as a lecturer in the Department of Computing. He received his doctor of philosophy (PhD) in year 2013 in the field of computational intelligence, his master degree (MSc) in year 2009, in the field of vision and image processing, and his Bachelor degree (BSc) major in computer aided geometry design (CAGD) and minor in computer science, from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). With the knowledge of multidisciplinary, Dr. Khoo has conducted research and development (R&D) projects with a total amount of MYR180,314.08. He is a project leader for two internal research grant projects on ‘Visual data processing in machine vision’ and ‘Development of open source platform for smart home system’. He served as a research officer (RO) in USM. There are several government research projects conducted, mainly funded by MOSTI’s eScience fund (currently MESTECC) and USM’s research university (RU) grants. These projects involved research work on visual data processing with unsupervised machine learning methods for machine vision. He has made contributions to practical knowledge in this domain, with substantial results being published internationally, principally within ACM, IEEE, and InTech Open with over 30 citations in SCOPUS index and Google Scholar. His current research involves the developments of Internet of things (IoT) platform, majorly focus on human-machine intelligence (HMI) framework, and to be established in Deja Vu laboratory, Batu Kawan campus. Other research work includes algorithm design, image and video processing, graphics renderings, and artificial intelligence (AI).
