He is one of the key leaders of the First Singapore-built microsatellite X-SAT project that has been successfully launched and operated in orbit since April 2011. As the Centre director for the Satellite Research Centre (SaRC), he is responsible for the satellite research development and various satellite collaboration activities. Presently, he is also supervising a team of students to develop a nano-satellite, VELOX-I, for constellation, remote sensing and scientific applications. Besides teaching and research, he has also served in various professional committees. He was the organizing committee member and technical program committee member in many conferences such as ACCV’95, ICARV’96, ICARV’98, ICARV’06, PEDS, ICIEA’08, ICNC’09 etc. Dr Low has been a senior member of IEEE since 2000.
