Short Bio

Jia Yi graduated from the School of Physical Education (SPE) with Honors in 1999 and was awarded the Gold medal from Singapore Sports Council for being the top Honors student in physical education. He subsequently taught for a few years in a Singapore school before returning to PESS as a lecturer. Jia Yi undertook further postgraduate study and obtained his PhD in the area of Motor Control and Learning with the University of Otago, New Zealand from an Overseas Graduate Scholarship (OGS) awarded by NIE. He is currently the Assistant Head for the Sport Science and Management NTU degree programme.
