Lian Pin Koh Biography
Lian Pin Koh (born 1976 in Singapore) is a conservation scientist based in Singapore. He is Professor of Conservation Science, Technology and Policy in the Department of Biological Sciences, and Director of the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions at the National University of Singapore.
He completed his Bachelor of Science (with First Class Honours) and Master of Science degrees at the National University of Singapore in 2001 and 2003, respectively.
Koh obtained a PhD from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University in the United States in 2008.
Following that, he received postdoctoral training at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland (ETH Zurich), and in 2011 he was appointed an Assistant Professor by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
Koh is a regular plenary speaker at numerous international meetings, including the WWF Fuller Symposium in Washington D.C. in 2012, the Clinton Global Initiative University in Florida in 2013, and the Intergovernmental Eye on Earth Summit in Abu Dhabi in 2015.
Koh was an invited speaker at the TEDGlobal 2013: Think Again conference in Edinburgh, where he spoke on the positive use of drones. His TED talk has been viewed over 600,000 times by a global audience.
His work has real and significant impacts in both academia and civil society. He was bestowed the honor of a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2013, for “… his record of professional accomplishments, commitment to society and potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world through his inspiring leadership”. Koh joins other leaders across the realms of politics, business, and the arts, including actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
In 2014, he was recruited by the University of Adelaide in Australia to take on the position of Associate Professor of Applied Ecology & Conservation. He was subsequently awarded the prestigious Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (Level II)., and was promoted to full Professor in 2017. Koh helped set up and served as Director of two University research centers: the Centre for Applied Conservation Science, and the Unmanned Research Aircraft Facility.
Throughout his career, Koh has received multiple awards including the Australian Research Council Future Fellowship in 2014, the Swiss National Science Foundation Professorship in 2011, the ETH Fellowship in 2008, and was also named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2013.
From 2018 to 2020, Koh took a hiatus from academia to join Conservation International.
His research focuses on developing innovative science and science-based decision support tools to help reconcile society’s needs with environmental protection. He addresses this challenge through field studies and experiments, computer simulations and modelling, as well as by co-opting emerging technologies for use in environmental research and applications.
In 2020, Koh returned to his home country of Singapore to assume the appointment of Professor of Conservation Science, Technology and Policy in the Department of Biological Sciences, and Director of the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions at the National University of Singapore.
Notably in 2020, he received a prestigious award from the National Research Foundation of the Singapore Prime Minister’s Office under its Returning Singaporean Scientists Scheme. Established in 2013, the Scheme seeks to attract outstanding overseas-based Singaporean research leaders back to Singapore to take up leadership positions in Singapore’s autonomous universities and publicly funded research institutes. Koh is the sixth Singaporean to receive this award.
