Rate My Professor Jou Khong

Dr. Yin Jou Khong is a Lecturer in the Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE) discipline at Monash University Malaysia's School of Engineering. He obtained his Master of Engineering with first-class honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus in 2015, ranking in the top three of his class. His undergraduate project involved designing a charge controller for battery and supercapacitor arrays in a solar photovoltaic system. After graduation, he served as a graduate trainee at Intel Microelectronics (2015-2016), focusing on System-on-Chip (SoC) design for Platform Controller Hub (PCH). In 2016, he pursued a PhD in Engineering at the University of Cambridge as a fully funded Commonwealth Scholar, completing it in 2021 with a thesis on "Bipolar metal oxide thin film diodes." During his doctoral studies, he gained teaching experience through laboratory demonstrations and supervised final-year undergraduate projects in clean room and measurement labs.

Since early 2021, Dr. Khong has been with Monash University, initially as sessional staff teaching ENG1002 and ECE3141, before becoming an Assistant Lecturer in mid-2021 and advancing to Lecturer. He currently coordinates ENG1013 Engineering Smart Systems and ECE4132 Control Systems Design. His research interests center on metal oxide thin films for bipolar devices such as p-n diodes, plasma treatment effects, and solid-state lighting including LEDs' impact on human responses. Notable publications include "Effect of plasma treatment on metal oxide p–n thin film diodes fabricated at room temperature" (Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2021), "Doping density extraction of plasma treated metal oxide thin film diodes by capacitance–voltage analysis" (Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2023), and "A simulation-based framework for multi-individual circadian re-entrainment using a single light schedule" (Building and Environment, 2023). He has served on committees for Malaysian and ASEAN research conferences (2018-2020), contributed to the Science Seekers STEM program, and holds the position of Chief Technology Officer at Intograd, a non-profit aiding postgraduate access. Additionally, he received recognition as an Outstanding Reviewer for Sensors & Actuators: A. Physical in 2017.
