Biography
TEOH Eam Khwang received his BE and ME degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 1980 and 1982 respectively and the PhD degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia in 1986. Since June 1985, he has been with the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological Institute/Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a Lecturer, Senior Lecture and currently, an Associate Professor in the Division of Control & Instrumentation. Dr Teoh was a Vice Dean in the School of EEE, NTU from June 1996 till May 2005. In 1994, he was voted by the students as NTU Teacher of the Year Award for the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. Dr Teoh has published more than 230 journal and conference papers. He was a co-inventor of an Australian patent on An Adaptive Thickness Controller for a Rolling Mill. He is a member of IEEE. In 2007, one of his papers titled "Lane Detection and Tracking Using B-Snake" by Wang Y., Teoh E.K. and Shen D.G. in Image and Vision Computing, Vol 22, No 4, April 2004, pp 269-280 won the Most Cited Paper Award for the journal Image and Vision Computing. Papers for this distinction are determined solely based on the highest number of cites received for all journal articles published between the years 2004-2006 (data called from SCOPUS reports http://www.scopus.com created on January 11, 2007). The announcement of the winners appeared on ScienceDirect and in the journal Image and Vision Computing, Vol 25, pp. 769-770, June 2007. Also, an advertisement announcing the winners appeared in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, pp. 7, March 2007. This is the 1st time the award is presented by Elsevier.
