Biography

Pyi Phyo Aung holds an Advanced Diploma in Electronic Engineering from the City & Guilds of London Institute at NEC, Myanmar, and a Bachelor of Engineering with Honors from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia. While working as a lecturer in Myanmar, he authored and published a technical book titled "Arduino Ka Gyi Kha Khway" in the Myanmar language.

After that, he conducted full-time research in the Embedded Systems i-Kohza at the Malaysia-Japan International Institute at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Campus, specializing in IoT and hardware security, and earned a Master of Philosophy. During this period, he was awarded the JASSO student scholarship for a research internship at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Nara, Japan.

Recognized as a Professional Technologist by the Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT), Pyi Phyo Aung is a passionate maker and educator. He actively engages in talks, workshops, and training sessions—both in-person and virtual—on topics related to embedded systems, IoT, and hardware security.
