| Biography |
| Dr Ooi Kim Tiow is an Associate Professor in Thermal and Fluids Division, School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He came to Singapore after obtaining PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of Strathclyde, Scotland, U.K. in 1990. His research areas are mainly focused on refrigeration compressors and systems, as well as design and optimization of mechanical products. He has since been bestowed trice Teacher of the Year Award, and once The Nanyang Award for Excellence in Teaching. His research works have won a few international and national awards. He publishes widely in his research field and has been invited to be Editorial Board Member, Guest Editor and Reviewer of International Journals. He is also International advisory committee member and Chairman of Academic Committee of International Conferences in UK, Europe and China. He is the holders of six patents, a co-author of a book and chapters of encyclopedias. He is widely consulted by engineering companies on design and optimization of refrigeration compressors, design optimization and studies of mechanical products both locally and internationally. He is a member of American Society of Heating, air-conditioning and refrigerating Engineers. |
