About Me:

Portrait of Calvin Ling

Hi, I'm Calvin. I work at the intersection of surface-mount technology (SMT), image processing, data engineering and software development. As a researcher with an engineering spirit, I integrate digital twinning into my work, leveraging modern software, cloud and data solutions alongside electronic packaging. Beyond technical development, I mentor undergraduate and postgraduate researchers in navigating complex problems within the semiconductor field. I believe that solving tomorrow's engineering challenges requires bridging unconventional domains - because research and engineering are ultimately two sides of the same coin.

Experience

  1. Graduate Research Assistant · Universiti Sains Malaysia

    —

    • Worked on developing a modernised ESG metrics database system (Esgmetds) in simplifying reporting and ESG data management.
    • Developed a smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation model of seawater-sediment-freshwater salient intrusion in coastal waters.
    • Developed software that integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results for penstock failure prediction and ideal laser solder profile.
