The viva online session for undergraduate students took place yesterday. I’m one of the panel to evaluate the students. I’ve been informed that this is the last online viva session for this semester. I wish to congratulate to the students:
Tay Ming Suan
Nursyahira Azhar
Noridayu Kosni
Niveane Albania
This students is doing their thesis totally 100% remotely due to the pandemic (two semesters). But the results are impressive. Seems it looks not as executed remotely. Congratulations again. Hope to see you again in the future. All the best!
In my busy schedule as an academician, I have managed to find myself time to create a web-app to help individuals affected by this COVID-19 pandemic (i.e: income, employment, etc.).
This web-apps show the locations of individuals who need such help. This information is filled in by the people themselves, and any NGO or individual can see the location where assistance can be extended. Update in real-time.
Starting with 10 data points, it has now reached more than 500 point locations that have been entered in the myBantu map (July 7th). Many NGOs have also managed to provide assistance at the locations on this myBantu map.
Sorry if the web-app is not “fancy”, I am not a web design expert but as long as the objective can be achieved, why not give it a try.
This web-app can be accessed using the myBantu map link https://bit.ly/3qH04qu. If you need or know anyone who needs help, fill out the individual information through this form https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0.
I pin this story here as my personal-event memory.
Congratulations to my PhD student Nurfairunnajiha for successfully presenting and defending her excellent PhD first defense (proposal) this morning. Thanks to the panel for the constructive comments given during the presentation just now.
Fairun is a fast track student, from Bachelor degree to PhD (without MPhil). This opportunity were given only to students with a good academic achievement during Bachelor degree.
This picture describes precisely my relationship with my student. Its a race, if you wish to run fast, then I will do my best to win the race. But if I’m the only one trying to run fast, then it’s impossible for me to move forward with you.
Done another PhD Viva Voce. Congratulations to Muhammad Hamid Chaudry from Pakistan for the research done. #research #phd #highereducation #science #education #utm #alumni

EXTERNAL PHD EXAMINER AT AZMAN HASHIM INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL
Opportunity to be as an external examiner for PhD student named Hama Qasim Hama Qushid from Iran. Qasim is a student at Azman Hashim International Business School (AHIBS). I was also informed after the defense session that Qasim is also a consultant who is actively involved in GIS-related work in his country.
The topic of his research is on spatial data sharing for smart cities in Malaysia. Quite an interesting topic. But in reality it is not a straightforward research if the research scope is not well defined. I love to help and give suggestions to improve his research and to make it achievable. In fact, this will benefit geospatial data sharing in Malaysia.
