Lee Ted Sian

Dr. Lee Ted Sian serves as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak within the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science. She joined the institution as a permanent faculty member in January 2024 following a sessional teaching appointment in 2023, bringing expertise in experimental fluid dynamics and sustainable energy systems.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Monash University Malaysia (2023)
• B.Eng. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, Monash University Malaysia (2016)

Dr. Lee's research program centers on fluid-structure interaction phenomena, specializing in turbulence control through fractal geometries and piezoelectric energy harvesting from fluid flows. She integrates machine learning techniques to optimize flow control systems while maintaining strong focus on sustainability engineering principles for energy-efficient solutions. Her experimental approach combines advanced velocimetry methods with novel piezoelectric transducer designs.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent output in high-impact fluid dynamics journals, revealing an evolving research trajectory from fundamental turbulence characterization (2021) toward practical applications of grid geometry effects on turbulence management (2023). This progression highlights growing expertise in translating fluid dynamic principles into energy harvesting technologies.

Dr. Lee actively recruits research higher degree candidates and maintains an open-door policy for prospective students interested in experimental mechanics and sustainable energy systems. Her industry background at Daikin Research & Development provides valuable practical perspective for student projects seeking real-world engineering applications.
