Dr. Loo Xi Sung (MIEEE’2012-SMIEEE’2017) is currently a Lecturer with school of Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He received the B.Eng. (1st Class Hons.) and the Ph.D. degree in EEE from NTU in 2007 and 2012, respectively. His PhD studies was funded by JIP graduate scholarship with focus on RFCMOS Spice Modelling and IC Design. Prior to joining NTU, he has developed proficiencies in delivering lectures on IC design and Electronics modules at both Singapore University of Technology and Design (2016-2017) and Republic Polytechnic (2022-2024).
His most recent postdoctoral appointment was with NTU (2020-2022) where he collaborated with Institute of Microelectronics (IME, A*STAR) in developing ultra-low power ICs. Concurrently, he was awarded 2-year tenure as an adjunct scientist position in Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R, A*STAR) for research collaboration in Neuromorphic Computing Program. In 2016, Dr. Loo was awarded MIT-SUTD fellowship grant for pursuing his research interest in mm-wave transceiver IC design for radar sensing. His postdoctoral appointment with MIT was in Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS). Dr. Loo was promoted to Research Fellow II at SUTD in 2019 where he had worked to secure SUTD-MIT International Design Centre (IDC) Grant.
Dr. Loo received Graduate Research Showcase Merit Award in 2017 and 3 research competition awards presented by Keysight (2019) and Rohde & Schwarz (2017 and 2019). He won best paper presenter award in ICCCAS 2023 conference. He has been a Senior Member of IEEE since 2017 and had held various major positions within IEEE conferences which include technical committee member, session chair and keynote speaker/invited speaker. To date, he has made more than 30 scholarly contributions which cover publications and invited presentations.
