About

Overview

Edwin is a lecturer in diagnostic radiography at the School of Health Sciences. He joined City in March 2018 shortly after he completed his PhD in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at the Nottingham Trent University. His novel research work focused on developing and testing microbubble-based contrast agents to measure pressure variations in the human stomach with MRI. He presented his research in various MRI conferences, nationally and internationally. While at City, Edwin has taken on various internal and external roles including programme director for BSc (Hons) Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) in the School of Health Sciences, visiting scholar (researcher in MRI) at Nottingham Trent University and reviewer (reading committee) for Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships under the Association of Commonwealth Universities. He currently holds the admissions tutor role for undergraduate radiography programmes at City.

Prior to this, Edwin was trained as a radiographer and qualified in 2006 with BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Imaging & Radiotherapy from the National University of Malaysia. He then worked as a diagnostic radiographer in Malaysia for a number of years before becoming a lecturer in medical imaging at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College and later on the University of Selangor, Malaysia. After awarded with a masters degree in 2013, he took a further step in his academic accomplishment by pursuing a PhD the following year which then brought him to the UK.

Edwin is currently involved in teaching across a range of radiography programmes within the City University. He is a module leader for several undergraduate modules and teaches both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels whilst remains active in research.

Edwin's research aims to use microbubbles as a pressure probe for MRI gastrointestinal application, which will be useful as a diagnostic tool in diagnosing patient with functional dyspepsia condition. He works collaboratively with the Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, University of Nottingham. After completion of his PhD, Edwin has been appointed as a visiting researcher at NTU, on top of his role at City, continuing his work in the development of microbubble-based MRI contrast agents.

He also supervises MSc and BSc research projects in various topics on medical imaging.

Research Interests
