About
Dr. Patrick W. C. Ho is a Lecturer in the Department of Electrical & Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE) at Monash University Malaysia School of Engineering. He holds a PhD in Electronics Engineering from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (2016), with research focusing on non-volatile FPGA architectures using memristors. His academic journey includes roles as a Scholarly Teaching Fellow and unit coordinator for courses like ECE2131 Electrical Circuits and ECE4063 Large Scale Digital Design. He has industry experience with Intel Microelectronics and Altera Corporation, alongside teaching A-level Physics at Methodist College Kuala Lumpur.
Education:
- BEng (First Class Honours) in Engineering (2009)
- MSc in Science (2012)
- PhD in Electronics Engineering (2016)
Research Interests: Dr. Ho specializes in memristor-based non-volatile memory systems, VLSI design, and FPGA architectures. His work bridges hardware design with emerging materials, as seen in his Q1 journal article on memristive LUTs. Collaborations with CAD-IT expand his focus into AI, image processing, and object recognition. Recent projects include studies on memristor substrate performance (2023–2026) and UAV communication reliability (2021–2024).
Teaching and Industry Engagement: As ECSE’s Industrial Training Advisor and IAP representative, he actively connects academic curricula with industry needs. His teaching spans foundational engineering courses and advanced digital design modules.
Labs and Collaborations: Active in CAD-IT partnerships for student FYP co-sponsorship. Research groups focus on nanotechnology, machine learning integration in UAV systems, and memristor material analysis.
