To date, I have secured 4 projects as the Principle Investigator. The first project was awarded by UTM under the Potential Academic Staff (PAS). The second research grant was awarded by the Centre for Community Industry Network (CCIN) UTM, where the project involved medical doctors, students of AHIBS, and some TB patients to develop solutions to improve TB patients’ experiences in their treatment. The third project that I am anchoring is a grant from the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme, MOHE. And the fourth research grant secured by me is through an industry grant, where I will help to improve a financial entrepreneurs’ digital presence.
I am a member of five international grants from the Erasmus+ projects worth more than RM4 million. Apart from that, I am also a member of a UTM Transdisciplinary Research Grant, an Industry International Incentive Grant, and two contract research projects.
