Networking

Dr. Lau is currently a member of two networking groups relevant to high voltage engineering in Malaysia. They are:

IEEE DEIS Malaysia Chapter

IEEE DEIS (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society) Malaysia Chapter was established in Malaysia in May 2015. IEEE DEIS Malaysia Chapter’s establishment stems from the need of the dielectrics community in Malaysia to enhance networking and stimulate research and development in the field of dielectrics and electrical insulation. DEIS is interested in the study and application of dielectrics from the molecular level, through nano-structured materials, to insulation systems in industrial, commercial, and power system equipment, to emerging applications such as those at high power levels and in biological and other small-scale systems. More information about DEIS Malaysia can be found here.

MyHVnet

MyHVnet (Malaysian High Voltage Network) is a networking group for high voltage engineering in Malaysia. MyHVnet hopes to serve as a “one-stop” platform for members from various organisations (universities and industries) across Malaysia for the effective communication of high voltage related research and development. The main objectives of the establishment of MyHVnet are:
i) To serve as a platform for the discussion of high voltage related research and development among member organisations
ii) To raise the awareness of the research and development capabilities of member organisations to high voltage related industries
iii) To lobby for high voltage related research funding
