He holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Computer Science from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universiti_Putra_Malaysia Universiti Putra Malaysia], and defended his Ph.D. in 2008 on ''A Discrete Computational Aesthetics Model for a Zero-Sum Perfect Information Game'' at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Malaya University of Malaya], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur Kuala Lumpur], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia Malaysia], and various of his papers on computational aesthetics of the Game of [[Chess]] were published in the [[ICGA Journal]].
He developed a computational chess aesthetics model and incorporated it into a computer program called [[Chesthetica]] that can be used to automatically evaluate the beauty of thousands of three-move chess problems in a way that correlates well with human assessment <ref>[https://en.chessbase.com/post/a-machine-that-composes-chess-problems A machine that composes chess problems’] by [[Azlan Iqbal]], [[ChessBase|ChessBase News]], November 07, 2014</ref>.
