Dr Peter C Y Yau

  • Assistant Professor in Computing Science (Singapore) (Singapore: Computing Science)

Biography

Dr Peter YAU is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow (UofG, Singapore campus). Peter received his DBA at the University of Newcastle, Australia; his dissertation is entitled "An Empirical Study of the Drivers and Impediments in the Adoption of Financial Technology"

Peter has international consulting experience with a track record in managing change in organizations and system development. He delivered ambitious results for financial institutions, public transport providers, Big 4 accounting firms, etc. He pioneered in building the first unmanned smart-tech laboratory in Hong Kong for teaching, learning and research purposes. Before joining the UofG, he worked as an adjunct faculty in various engineering institutes, and a global EMBA school. His recent commercial deployment is a Fintech project related to automation: "Finding Global Investment Opportunities by Using Big Data Analysis - A Social Sentiment Listening Approach with Machine Learning".

He is an Amazon AWS Educate Cloud ambassador and a program evaluator for the computing accreditation commission at ABET. Peter loves to travel: he carried his laptop to Amazon, Himalayas, and Safari.
