Biography

Ir. Dr. How Ho Cheng graduated with his BEng (Hons) and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering from University of Strathclyde, Scotland, United Kingdom in 1994 and 1998, respectively. He is a chartered engineer registered under Engineering Council of United Kingdom, and also a professional engineer with Board of Engineers Malaysia.

Ir. Dr. How pursued his career in a high-paced semiconductor industry upon his graduation, and has extensive experience in both upstream wafer fabrication process, and downstream assembly and test of advanced packaging microprocessor device. He has established his areas of expertise in advanced packaging and assembly materials development, failure and root cause analysis, materials characterization techniques, and yield improvement methodology for a high-volume manufacturing environment.

Ir. Dr. How has been a full-time academic since December 2013.
