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.

In January 2016, he began working as a university lecturer at the School of Physics at USM. 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 40 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 50 journal manuscripts in the geophysics field for various journals (Journal of Applied Geophysics, Near Surface Geophysics, Geothermics, Ore Geology Reviews, Sains Malaysiana, Journal of Physical Science, Journal of King Saud University (Science), 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 served as the principal investigator on a number of private-sector-funded projects. During his spare time, he participated in community activities such as church and charity work. He is also involved in the concept/idea of innovation, and he is currently the owner and author of two copyright products registered with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia, MyIPO.
