Dr. Hau Yuan Wen is a research fellow of IJN-UTM Cardiovascular Engineering Centre, also a senior lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. She received both Ph.D. degree and master degree in electrical engineering in 2009 and 2005, respectively, as well as Bachelor of Computer Engineering in 2003, all from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. She is also a Chartered Engineer (CEng) awarded by The Engineering Council, UK, since 2023. Dr. Hau’s research expertise is in the design of multi-processor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) / networks-on-chip (NoC), from high level algorithm modelling until low level of processing architecture design, as well as field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation. From there her research interests have spread into the field of monitoring and diagnostic device design, cryptographic and data security system design, Artificial Intelligence (AI) application on health care and medical such as arrhythmia classification, patient deterioration prediction, infectious disease classification, as well as ADHD/autism assessment. She has published more than 50 papers in peer reviewed international journals and conferences, and several book chapters. Her main research inventions includes:
- myThrob – An intelligent heart rhythm monitoring device for early heart disease detection and prevention
- VirtualDave – A web-based telecardiology system with smart ECG delineation
- Pascalogy – Cuffless Blood Pressure Meter
- RehabTrack – A Home-based 6MWT monitoring system based on mobile technology
- myCrypto – A System-on-Chip (SoC) based Hardware Security Module of Public Key and Private Key Cryptography for Data Security System
She has won many best invention awards in design competitions, as well as the best paper publication awards in many international conferences. She has more than 30 intellectual property (IP) rights in the forms of patent, trademark, and copyrights, based on her research inventions. Dr. Hau is also active in international networking and collaboration with many universities for research and academic activities. For instance, she was the General Chair of the 2nd and 3rd of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Cybernetics Technology & Applications (ICICyTA) in 2022 and 2023, respectively, in collaboration with Telkom University, Indonesia. She is currently also the program coordinator of the undergraduate student exchange program between Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), Taiwan. In collaboration with NCHU as well, Dr. Hau was the Scientific Program Chair of International Human-Centered Technology Conference 2024.
Despite of her excellent services in academic, she has responsibility to many administrative positions such as Deputy Director of IJN-UTM Cardiovascular Engineering Centre, academic manager of UTMSPACE part-time degree program, program coordinator of Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate program, coordinator of Industrial Training Committee, Task Force Leader of HiCOE documentation and many others. She also actively participated in non-academic activities like international chess and ping pong in UTM staff games. Besides, Dr Hau also has Grade 8 Pianoforte from the Associated Board of Royal School of music and has grade 3rd of Taekwondo from International Taekwondo Federation.
