He joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in 1993 and 1998 respectively. Currently, he is an Associate Professor. He teaches several undergraduate, postgraduate and industry courses on Digital Signal Processing and Real-Time Signal Processing Implementation. His research interests include adaptive signal processing, psycho-acoustical signal processing and real-time digital signal processing. He has published over 130 International refereed journals and conferences. He led two teams of undergraduates to top the Asia/Japan Territory in the 1997/98 and semi-finalist of the 00/01 Texas Instruments World Wide DSP and Analog Solutions Challenge respectively. He has also won the Institute of Engineer Singapore (IES) Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award 2001 for the project on Audio Beam.

He was the Deputy Director of the National Centre for Signal Processing at Nanyang Technological University till June 2001. He was also the co-chairman of the Task Force for the DAB Steering Committee, Singapore (2001) and was a committee member (1999-2001) for the Audio Engineering Society, Singapore.
