Dr Noor Hasbi Yusoff is an Assistant Professor for Media & Communication at the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD). He situates himself within the Visual Communication Design specialization and teaches a plethora of courses in the Bachelor of Communication and Media (BCM) courses. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Communications from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University. He specializes in user experience design, social semiotics, visual cultures and calligraphy. 

Dr Noor is an artist and educator who strongly believes in the symbiotic relationship between cooperative learning methodology and digitalization of traditional pedagogical strategies. He strives to create a safe, relevant and inclusive learning environment where all students feel accepted and are encouraged to think creatively and critically. He believes that the ancient doctrine of ‘only the like can know the like’ is relevant concept to harness and expand the process of actualizing the possibilities of the intellect, both for himself and his students. 

Dr Noor current research interests include the practice-based approach to understand intellectual identity, social semiotics and visual cultures. His recent conferences in Finland and Japan allowed him to further explore hands-on creative practice with critical view of culture-based intellectuality. Recently, his academic and creative practice have been acknowledged by the Dubai Government with the presentation of the UAE Golden Visa status.
   
Prior to joining UOWD and within a span of 20 years, Dr Noor was an academic at Monash University, RMIT University, Curtin University (Dubai), American University in the Emirates and Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education. He also taught in IB Schools both in Australia and the UAE.
