Sending off Umar Jambo after Completing his M.Sc (Geoinformatics) – May 2023

Posted on April 22, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Alhamdulillah. Umar completed his masters with flying colours. He started his 1st semester abroad as the MCO made it still stringent to enter the country, only during the 2nd semester he came here. Umar received a scholarship from his country, Nigeria to pursue his masters here, given he is the lecturer in one of the college there.

I was given the opportunity to supervise his Master’s project which managed to publish one journal article in Geografia, WoS indexed for his work on the landslide vulnerability at Sireh Park. Hard work paid off.

Securing UTM Matching Grant When Receiving External Grant – May 23

Posted on April 22, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Alhamdulillah, I received an external grant from Yayasan Strategik Lestari (YSL) with the amount of MYR 33k with the proposed research titled “QUANTIFYING CLIMATE CHANGES EFFECT TOWARDS LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION FOR URBAN COMMUNITY”. On top of that, I am also one of their research fellow.

Given the small amount of which I cannot provide a monthly allowance for my student, I have applied UTM Matching Grant (UTM MG). At UTM, you are given the opportunity to apply for the MG amounting up to MYR 50k when you received an external grant (if I am not mistaken, only if the source is from the private sector). Therefore, I proposed another grant application with the title “QUANTIFYING CLIMATE CHANGES EFFECT TOWARDS LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION”. Alhamdulillah it was approved.

More details on the UTM MG can be found here https://rmc.utm.my/download-research-funding/

Malaysia Happiness Index Components Which can Be Geospatialized

Posted on April 21, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Following the recent announcement of KPKT Minister which ranks the top 3 city with are the happiest – Cameron Higlands, Jeli and Jerantut, the above are the components of the said index. These components can be transformed into a geospatialized indicators which must be specific according to the smallest possible geographical (mukim perhaps?). These indicators can later on be incorporated into a geospatial model for facilitating the future prediction of the happiest areas.

This is what is partially done by my PhD student Juhaida, of which she uses the geospatial model of IBM, AHP and ANP to predict the potential of radicalism for Peninsular Malaysia.
