About Us

He has enjoyed math, science, and general problem solving since high school. Engineering sparked his interest as a way to engage in all these disciplines. Pursuing his Diploma and Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in Japan from 1991 to 1997 led him through many challenges. Working in a Japanese semiconductor company after graduated spark his interest in advanced materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. He cannot refuse to accept the challenge to pursue study in Master's and Ph.D. in the field of material science under the Japanese Monbusho sponsorship from 2000 to 2005, the period where he built my character as a researcher in materials.

​

Today, he is working as a lecturer and researcher at the National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) since 2005. Heading the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering since 2015 and now holds the Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. He is active in publishing research papers in the field of mechanical properties of advanced engineering materials especially on the strength of metal joining, high temperature tensile and creep, and fatigue. Collaborating and engaging with industries and communities are his current focus to intensify his contribution through research.
