Biography

Dr Ho Pin is a materials scientist and a group leader of the Hybrid Spintronics Group at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). She specialises in green memory and computing technologies built upon advanced spin- and brain inspired-concepts. Concurrently, she holds positions as the Deputy Head of the Electronic Materials Department at IMRE and the Director of Graduate Affairs for the Science and Engineering Research Council, A*STAR. She also serves as executive committee member of the Materials Research Society of Singapore since 2022 and honorary auditor from 2021-2022. Prior to joining A*STAR in 2016, she was a research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology supported by the A*STAR International Fellowship.
