About Andy A. Bery
Andy Anderson Bery was born in 1986 in Kuala Lumpur. He attended SRB St. John, Taee, for primary school and SMK Taee, Serian, Sarawak, for secondary school. During his postgraduate studies, he received the USM Scholarship. He completed his Doctor of Philosophy degree in December 2015 and was awarded Graduate On-Time status by the USM Senate and IPS in 2016.
He started working as a university lecturer at USM's School of Physics in 2016. He has been assigned as a lecturer to teach mathematics, engineering, and geophysics courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As a researcher, he (as the lead author) has published more than 80 research articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings that have been indexed by Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science (WoS), and Elsevier's SCOPUS. He has reviewed over 70 journal manuscripts in the geophysics field for various journals (Journal of Applied Geophysics, Near Surface Geophysics, Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Earth Systems and Environments, CATENA, conference papers, and so on). In addition to being a member of the scientific publishing community, he has been certified as a peer reviewer by Elsevier Researcher Academy. He has been a tenured Associate Professor of Geophysics since 2024, and he founded Earth Systems Processes and Hazard Modeling Center, which brings together his postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research collaborators.
He has served as the principal investigator on a number of private-sector-funded research projects at national and international levels. During his spare time, he participated in local community activities such as church and non-profit charitable organizations. He is also involved in the concept/idea of innovation, and he is currently authored of four copyright products registered with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia, MyIPO.
