Meet the editors

Kim Ho Yeap is an Associate Professor at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia. He is an IEEE senior member, a Professional Engineer registered with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia, and a Chartered Engineer registered with the UK Engineering Council. He received his BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Petronas in 2004, his MSc in microelectronics from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2005,

and his PhD from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman in 2011. In 2008 and 2015, respectively, Dr. Yeap underwent research attachment at the University of Oxford (UK) and Nippon Institute of Technology (Japan). Dr. Yeap is the external examiner and external course assessor of Wawasan Open University. He is also the Editor in Chief of the i-manager's Journal on Digital Signal Processing. He has also been a guest editor for the Journal of Applied Environmental and Biological Sciences and Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences. Dr. Yeap has been given the university teaching excellence award, and 20 research grants. He has published more than 100 research articles (including refereed journal papers, conference proceedings, books, and book chapters). When working in Intel corporation, Dr. Yeap was a design engineer in the pre-silicon validation group. He was awarded 4 Kudos awards by Intel for his contributions in the design and verification of the microchip's design for testability (DFT) features.

Jonathan Javier Sayago Hoyos is a research associate at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Sayago tackled the problem of achieving low-voltage organic transistors employing electrolytes as the gating medium. His research contributed to shedding light on fundamental physicochemical processes in electrochemical transistors and energy storage devices. After his PhD studies, Dr. Sayago worked

as a consultant for Bowhead Health Inc., a Canadian startup company aiming for the commercialization of bioelectronic devices for preventive medical applications. His team designed and built a biosensor device capable of testing 50 µl of blood which led the company to secure a private funding from the world-class Mexican company Grupo Arcoiris. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Renewable Energies, UNAM, Dr. Sayago investigates biocompatible and biodegradable electrodes engineered for energy storage and heat transfer applications. Derived from this work he authored and co-authored over 10 articles in highly recognized international journals, 3 book chapters and participated in numerous international conferences and workshops. Dr. Sayago has taught courses in mathematics, advanced physics laboratory, computer assisted design and 3D printing, and tutoring sessions. He is an active reviewer for the Journal of Power Sources.
