SMART CITY APPLICATIONS 2021 (SCA21) INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE – TURKEY

Leave a reply

Three research papers were accepted and presented at the 6th International Conference on Smart City Applications (SCA2021) in Safranbolu, Turkey. Accepted papers will be published in a Springer or Scopus-indexed publications.

The three papers are titled as follows:
1) 3D Topological Support in Spatial Databases: An Overview
2) Modelling Immovable Asset in 3D using CityGML 3.0 Concept to Support Smart City Initiatives
3) 3D Air Pollution Computational Fluid Modelling Data Analysis Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) And Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Approach

As usual, I am not presenting these papers; instead, my three lucky students, Syahiirah Salleh, Fairun, and Amalin, presented the research papers. They appears to be confident during the presentation. I wish to say congratulations, and please keep up your good research work.

Thank you to the organizer for arranging this excellent conference and for giving my students with an opportunity to deliver their presentations. Appreciate it.

3DGEOINFO 2021 – NEW YORK

Our article was accepted for presentation at 3D Geoinfo 2021 in New York. We are the only representative of UTM’s 3D GIS Research Group to have been accepted to this conference. We are thrilled.

This article, titled “Data Interoperability of Building Information Modeling and Geographic Information Systems in the Construction Industry,” examines data interoperability challenges in the construction industry between BIM and GIS. Available for free at the following ISPRS link: https://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XLVI-4-W4-2021/111/2021/.

Congratulations to Wan Nor Fa’aizah, my PhD student who presented the paper. Yes, I rarely present papers at conferences. Certain supervisors choose to be the presenter.

In my opinion, let this experience be given to new and young researchers, to stand up in fronts of experts, to feel nervous, stage fright and so on. I myself have been through this experience some time ago. Now is their time. 

In addition to my obligations as a lecturer and researcher, I am also responsible for talent development. Having to be at the front and having my students following behind me would be pointless. Allow them to fly.

UTMSHINE 2021

UTMSHINE 2021

The privilege to be recognized as a member of UTMShine was something I never expected.

What exactly is UTMShine? They called the programme as UTM Strategy for Recruiting and Inspiring Top-Notch Scientists and Researchers.

It is one of the strategies implemented by the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation) to encourage UTM researchers to conduct high-impact research and produce high-quality research output.

Among the obligations I must embrace is to serve as the faculty’s ambassadors for research and innovation, respectively.

Only 14 individuals were recruited. Each of us received RM40,000 in the form of a research grant. Plus, extensive research activities at the university level in the future.

More grease on my elbow, I guess.

INVITED TALK THIS WEEK

Leave a reply

This week, I’ve been invited to deliver a talk at the International Conference Geospatial Asia-Europe 2021 on my field of 3D topology.

The conference is being organised by Morocco’s Universite Hassan II De Casablanca. Additionally, the conference was held in conjunction with GeoAdvances 2021, which was co-organized by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Moreover, I will serve as the chair of a session at this International Conference. If you’re interested in joining the conference, you can do so by visiting this conference website: https://www.geoinfo.utm.my/gae2021/
