Loo Kang Lawrence Wee
Lawrence graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) from the University of Singapore and obtained his Masters in Instructional Design and Technology from the National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He believes in developing Open Educational Resources (OER) where anyone around the world with the ability and the motivation could get the skills that they need to make a better life for themselves, their families and their communities.
Lawrence’s interest lies in OER because the public, any teachers and students will be able to access and adapt these resources freely with little restrictions, such as licensing OER's materials under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0). Working with communities of local teachers and professors from Spain, USA and Taiwan, he co-develop Open Source Physics simulations and Tracker video analysis and modelling resources and instructional strategies to motivate and engage students.
Lawrence has been awarded Ministry of Education 'MOE Outstanding Innovator Award' in 2013, the ‘Singapore Public Service PS21 Distinguished Star Service Award PSSSA’ in 2014, the ‘UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTs in Education, Pedagogical Innovation in the Use of ICT in Teaching and Learning’ in 2015 and 'National Day Awards Commendation Medal' in 2018.
He also led and support Professional Learning Community of teachers and MOEHQ officers to develop innovative technology solutions and curriculum that led them to clinch the MOE Innergy (Gold) Awards in 2012( ETD Gravity-Physics by Inquiry) , 2016 (Open Source Physics at Singapore) and 2017 (Innovative DC Motor Demonstration Kit Set).

A one paragraph biographical sketch (the sort of thing one would use to introduce you at a talk)
Loo Kang Lawrence WEE is a Lead specialist at the Ministry of Education (MOE), Education Technology Division (ETD), Singapore. His research focuses on designing HTML5 JavaScript computer models, also known as simulations and video analysis and modelling for physics education and publishes in Physics Education journal. His Open Source Physics at Singapore (OSP@SG) Digital Library and blog serves as a gateway to teachers and students to use and remix his simulations with the aim of benefiting all. His Open Source Physics at Singapore contributions has also been awarded the ‘UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTs in Education, Pedagogical Innovation in the Use of ICT in Teaching and Learning’ in 2015.
A few (2-3 ?) sentences summarizing your contributions to the OSP project
Since, 2007, Loo Kang has been remixing and has since converted 400+ Easy Java Simulation to Easy JavaScript Simulation all available on the Open Source Physics at Singapore Digital Library https://iwant2study.org/ospsg/. Loo Kang has also created 100+ Tracker video analysis and modeling files while working with Singapore teachers and students on their own performance tasks. Loo Kang also created a similar file structure and website to PhET and also made https://iwant2study.org/lookangejss to host ejss and trz files and made them directly accessible on both Easy JavaScript Simulation Modeling Toolkit and Tracker as shared libraries.
