COPYRIGHT APPROVAL FOR INNOVATIVE DATA INTEGRATION WORKFLOW

The Innovation and Commercialization Center (ICC) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia has granted copyright approval for our product, “CityJSON to Graph Database Parser and Data Integration Workflow,” with the filing number LY2024J04221 under Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO).

This copyright approval marks a significant milestone for our team and our work in advancing geospatial data integration. The CityJSON to Graph Database Parser and Data Integration Workflow enhances the efficiency and accuracy of integrating complex spatial data, supporting better decision-making in urban planning and management.

We are excited about the potential applications of this workflow and look forward to further innovations in this field. Thank you to the ICC for their support and recognition of our work.

MOCK PROPOSAL DEFENSE

Spending my 3 hours time with final-year BSc Geoinformatics students under my supervision. This mock proposal is not obligated; rather, it is intended to teach students the fundamentals of delivering a proposal defence presentation as well as future presentations (after graduation). This is not a lecturer’s KPI; people say it only adds work. But, regardless of what others say, the important thing is that my students gain new knowledge for future use. And we had “makan-makan” at the end of the session.

 

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

I would like to share about our first publication of this year. Its a book chapter in Springer research book.

This chapter discusses on how noise mapping is constructed in 3D for the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus area. It is also the first approach made in UTM to visualize noise impacts in 3D. We use the techniques available in 3D city modeling to obtain the results of this study. More findings can be found in the chapter. 

This research is sponsored by UTM research grant. We would like to thank to UTM for giving us the opportunity to conduct this research. Here is the information about the book chapter:

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SMART CITY APPLICATIONS 2022

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SMART CITY APPLICATIONS 2022

We successfully published six (6) research papers at the International Conference of Smart City Applications 2022, which took place in Morocco. I want to congratulate all the research students in our lab who have worked so diligently on their research that it is now their works being acknowledged and accepted at international level. Your hard work paid off.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES

Regarding our study findings, we have successfully acquired new Intellectual Properties (IP) that have been granted Copyright status. This intellectual property focuses on the 3D voxelization method for developing wind flow models.

Congratulations to Nurfairunnajiha Ridzuan. The student’s efforts have been acknowledged with accomplishment. It is her first opportunity to work with intellectual property. I intend to educate my students on the application procedures for intellectual property.

We certainly hope that our research lab will generate a more significant number of IPs.

YEAR END 2022 RESEARCH MEETING

YEAR END 2022 RESEARCH MEETING

This meeting was postponed from November to December. This is because our research lab is undergoing a major renovation and expansion to meet the needs of new students.

This meeting we introduced 3 new research members namely Syafiq, Husna and Farah. Each showed good progress despite having just started their studies in less than two months.

Hopefully next year more and more interesting research can be produced from our lab. See you next year (IA)!

GIS TRAINING FOR LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – MAJLIS PERBANDARAN KULAI (MPKu)

GIS TRAINING FOR LOCAL MUNICIPALITY

I had the opportunity to deliver a talk on the use of GIS for the local municipality (Majlis Perbandaran Kulai – MPKu). This training lasts for three days from 5-7 December 2022 and is conducted in UTM.

Wish that my knowledge sharing with the GIS unit at MPKu can be fully utilized. We at the university share our knowledge without relying on any particular vendors or software. It is more about giving the fundamental concept of GISc so that the knowledge can be applied in their daily work.

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

 

This is the 11th journal publication in 2022. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), a Malaysia Smart Cities Stakeholders Adoption Model (MSCSA) was employed as a case study in this research. In-depth interviews with specialists from smart city development agencies were conducted using a mixed-methods research approach. These assessments provide city officials with a mechanism for measuring citizen interest in smart city services and a road map for establishing an efficient smart city plan.
