Soo Jin Adrian Koh

My passion in Engineering Education stems from my strong belief that engineers create value. I hence specialize in designing, coordinating and teaching application-based blended learning courses. I believe in translatable research, which led to my deep involvement in research that could provide solutions to current problems like automation and alternative energy.
