Biography

Dr Brandon Khoo obtained his PhD in IT (Artificial Intelligence) from Monash University Malaysia in 2024, and his bachelor's degree (Computer Science) from ºìÐÓÊÓƵ University in 2019. He has since returned to ºìÐÓÊÓƵ to develop his academic tutelage soft skills while also bootstrapping his research career through collaborations with familiars. His research commitment is on detecting and classifying AI-generated online images and face forgeries with image forensics for equitable regulation of generative AI; but he is also interested in developing IT systems to facilitate resilient urban infrastructure.
