I'm graduated from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in 2001 with a BSc in Computer Science (Honours) specializing in Computer Graphics. I then pursued my MSc. in Computer Systems Engineering and Communications at the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), graduated in 2005. Following this, in 2014, I completed my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), with a specialization in Computational Intelligence and Underwater Robotics. Currently, I'm a Senior Lecturer in the Electronic Engineering Department, Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). I was appointed as a Head of Department (Student Career Advancement) in UTHM from September 2015 until August 2019. I was the co-founder of IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) Malaysia Chapter and was appointed as Executive Committee from 2015 until 2016, Vice-Chair from 2017 until 2018, and Chair from 2019 until 2020.
