Ho Y.C. obtained her Ph.D. (Environmental) in 2015. She has at least 15-years' experience in academic institutions as well as industries. She is also a professional technologist in Green Technology (Ts). Currently, she is a Senior Lecturer and previously Cluster Leader for Environmental Cluster (2018-2020) in Civil & Environmental Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), and currently appointed as Programme Manager for Master of Science in Industrial Environmental Engineering (2020 to present). Nonetheless, she is in Leadership Team under Institute of Self-Sustainable Building (ISB), (2022-present). YC teaches different courses which include Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Development, Sludge Management and Disposal, Wastewater Engineering, Sustainable Development for Engineer, Wastewater Treatment for Oil and Gas Industries, Environmental Hazardous Substances and Waste Management and etc.
She is currently a Secretary in International Water Association (IWA) for Design, Operation and Maintenance of Drinking Water Treatment Plants and member in The Malaysian Water Association (MWA). Her current research interest is closely related to Environmental Engineering, specifically, Water-Food-Energy nexus. YC involved in research projects which includes renewable energy, algae harvesting, water and wastewater treatments, and life cycle assessment. She has published several works in invited review papers, invited book chapters, international conference papers and international indexed journal papers, including Bioresource Technology from Elsevier, Scientific Reports from Nature Research and a few to name. Also, YC has won a few national awards in publications and international awards for her research works, two patents and two trademarks were filed. In 2021, her innovative product has won Gold medal both in Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) and The International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX); 2022, Gold for MTE SDG.
Lastly, she has been selected to be one of the invited leaders in an Innovation Fellowships programme by Royal Academy of Engineering, UK. She also conducted short courses entitled "Introduction to Environmental Engineering", "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): From Theory to Business Application", "Cultivation of Microalgae and Larvae for Biofuel Production", and "Writing and Publishing in High Impact Journal: Tricks & Tips". Noteworthy, she is now Lead Coach for Innovation Masterclass in PETRONAS Leadership Centre. Her H-index now is 29 (16 Nov 2023). One ambitious aim in life which she put forward in environmental research: To provide good environment for living to all. One basic principle she holds in regards to her work: Our mind is like a parachute, it does not work when it is not open.
