Melanie Ooi

Biography

Melanie Ooi is an emerging researcher and engineering specialist in Electrical and Electronic Engineering as well as Computer Engineering and Computational Intelligence. She is currently an Associate Professor at The University of Waikato, New Zealand. While working in close collaboration with several leading multinational electronics companies, she has developed new testing techniques and test data processing methodologies that have been adopted by the industry partners. In the recent years she has also successfully researched on new measurement uncertainty evaluation approaches and frameworks with application to a multitude of science and technology areas (medical research, structural design, mechanical systems modelling, etc.). Her research competence and capability are evident from the extensive and fast growing list of publications, research grants and projects, as well as successfully supervised postgraduate students.

In addition, Associate Professor Ooi was particularly successful in the area of undergraduate and postgraduate education. She introduced several innovations and a well-structured education program enhancing key professional skills and thus increasing work-readiness and employability of engineering graduates that were successfully adopted and implemented by Monash University and RMIT University in their Southeast Asian campuses. They have been strongly supported by multinational electronics companies such as Intel, Freescale Semiconductor and National Instruments.

Her high professional achievements have been acknowledged by several prestigious awards including the Outstanding Young Engineer Award of the Year 2014 from the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, 2014 Excellence Award from the International Education Association of Australia, 2011 Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council to mention a few.

She is Senior Member of the IEEE, Member of the IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society (I&MS); I&M AdCom (2019-2022)|| Young Professional Program Representative (2018)|| Distinguished Lecturer (2016 - December 2017), Distinguished Lecturer and Secretary of the Technical Committee on Fault Tolerant Measurement Systems (TC-32) of the IEEE I&MS. She is also Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and UK Chartered Engineer.

Biography

R. Zoughi received his B.S.E.E, M.S.E.E, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering (radar remote sensing, radar systems, and microwaves) from the University of Kansas where from 1981 until 1987 he was at the Radar Systems and Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL). He is the Kirby Gray (Battelle) Chair in Engineering and a Professor Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) at Iowa State University (ISU). He is also the Director of Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) at ISU. He served as the Schlumberger Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) from January 2001 to August 2019. Prior to joining Missouri S&T and since 1987 he was with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Colorado State University (CSU). He is the recipient of the 2007 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Distinguished Service Award, the 2009 American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Research Award for Sustained Excellence, the 2011 IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement and the 2020 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Career Excellence Award. In 2013 and 2020 he and his co-authors received the H. A. Wheeler Applications Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (APS). He is also the recipient of the 2023 American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Lester/Mehl Honor Lecture Award. He has twenty issued US patents to his credit (in addition to several issued abroad). He has served the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society and the IEEE in various capacities.
