Rate My Professor Yi Chiew Han

Yi Chiew Han is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Science, at Curtin University Malaysia. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Curtin University Malaysia (February 2020), with a thesis titled “Gait Analysis using Inertial Measurement Units for Rehabilitation,” and a B.Eng. (First Class Honours) in Electronic and Communication Engineering from Curtin University, Perth, Australia (December 2015). A Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), he joined Curtin University Malaysia in March 2020. Currently, he serves as Program Coordinator for the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking) and Chair of the Board of Studies in his department. He integrates industry practices into his teaching, fosters inclusivity with assistive technologies for students with disabilities, and has led successful course re-accreditations with the Malaysian Qualification Agency and Engineers Australia.

His research specializations encompass human motion analysis using wearable sensors and AI-driven trading bots. He has published extensively in leading journals, including “Angle Estimation Using a Single Gyroscope With Self-Compensating Algorithm” (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2024, co-authored with T.U. Siaw), “Necessity of Gyroscopes and Accelerometers in Angle Estimation for Quantitative Physiotherapy Evaluation of Lower Limb Kinematics During Walking” (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2024), “A Low-Cost Marker-Based Optical Motion Capture System to Validate Inertial Measurement Units” (IEEE Sensors Letters, 2023), “Walking Distance Estimation Using a Shank-Mounted Inertial Measurement Unit and Vertical Distance Sensor” (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2021), “Accurate gait modelling based on waveform scaling before DFT” (IET Signal Processing, 2020), and several others on gait phase detection, stride length estimation, and 3D angle estimation using IMUs (2018–2020). As Principal Investigator, he secured the SDEC Translational Research Grant 2021 worth RM80,000 for “Home Physiotherapy Monitoring using Inertial Measurement Units.” Dr. Han serves as a reviewer for IEEE Sensors Journal, IEEE Access, and IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics. He has held roles as Technical Program Committee and Publication Chair for international conferences including GECOST (2021–2025), MFAIC 2025, ICHELT 2024, and ICDATE 2023.
