Research Background

Dr. Koo Yeong Chin possesses a robust, multidisciplinary research background spanning mechatronics, flight mechanics, and industrial automation. His core expertise lies in advanced control systems, culminating in a Ph.D. focused on control-theoretic basic distributed consensus time synchronization protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). His theoretical contributions to time synchronization and sliding mode control have yielded multiple WoS and Scopus-indexed publications, including a Q1-ranked article in the IEEE Sensors Journal and several Best Paper Awards. Complementing his theoretical work, Dr. Koo is actively engaged in applied engineering, demonstrated by his hands-on design and fabrication of practical educational tools, such as the custom PLCEduKit and PCB voltage regulators.
