BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Woo is an academic and researcher who currently serves as an associate professor in the Department of Physics at Universiti Malaya. He completed his PhD in Advanced Materials from Universiti Malaya in 2013. Prior to joining Universiti Malaya in 2014, Dr. Woo gained valuable experience in industry, teaching, and research through his work in both the private sector and two private universities in Malaysia. His primary research interests focus on the design and development of functional materials, as well as energy storage and harvesting devices, with an emphasis on advancing smart city technologies, which includes batteries (LIBs, SIBs), supercapacitors (EDLC, hybrid supercapacitors, Sodium-ion capacitors), polymer electrolytes and solar cells (DSSCs, QDSSCs). Dr. Woo's scholarship record is impressive, with over 2278 citations and an h-index of 22 from Google Scholar as of September 2024. He has published over 60 research papers such as Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Energy Chemistry and ACS Materials Letters, filed for 2 patents and has secured research funds from University of Malaya (RU grant), Malaysian government funding agencies (FRGS), international fund from Asian Office of Aerospace Research & Development (AOARD), Japan and Southeast Asia and Taiwan Universities (SATU) JRS. Dr. Woo is also a dedicated reviewer for over 30 scientific journals. He is the winner of best flash-talk presenter of ICFMD2015, diamond award of I-Idea 2016, gold medal of Iiidjohor 2017, gold medal of Indes 2017, gold medal of Iriise 2018(PI), gold medal of ITEX2023(PI) and silver medal of MTE2024(PI). In addition to his research work, Dr. Woo is also an active member of the academic community. He serves as the treasurer of Institut of Physics, Malaysia (2017-present) and has been involved in organizing international conferences such as ICFMD 2013, 2015, 2017, 2022, 2024; Solar Asia 2013; APPC 2019, ICFPAM 2019 & AAPPS-DPP2024.
