CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – FRONTIERS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT JOURNAL

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – FRONTIERS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT JOURNAL

I wish to extend an invitation to submit a manuscript for the new article collection on “3D City Modelling in Built Environment” for the Frontiers in Built Environment journal.

This collection is being produced in collaboration with Frontiers in Built Environment. All research will be published in Open Access. Additionally, we aim to put together a free ebook of all published manuscripts to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in the field.

If you would like feedback on a manuscript’s suitability, please submit an abstract (or proposed research overview) by 23 September. As we publish on a rolling basis, you are welcome to submit your final manuscript before the deadline of 22 November. We can also accommodate personal extensions.

You can read more about the collection here: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/44429/3d-city-modelling-in-built-environment#overview.

If you do not wish to participate but know someone who might, please feel free to share this call for participation with your acquaintance.

Many thanks.

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

On the 17th of July 2022, the 3D GIS Research Lab held its monthly progress meeting. The students demonstrated the progress they had made in their research over the preceding month throughout the productive meeting. This time, we combined the discussion with student presentations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Later, these students can communicate with one another and obtain an idea of how the study is conducted on various levels. I want to thank these students for their great performance on their individual research projects.

BEST RESEARCHER AWARD 2022

BEST RESEARCHER AWARD 2022

As a result of the geographic data mining methods and the identification of human spatial trajectories provided in the “From Instagram to Science” journal publication, it was chosen for the Best Researcher Award 2022. It was a pleasant surprise. We plan to revolutionise GIS science to help the community deal with pandemics. We want to express our gratitude to the members of the scientific panels that considered our work for this award.

Title: Individual Mobility Pattern in Malaysia During COVID-19 Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) Partial Lockdown

Journal: Geo: Geography and Environment 

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/geo2.113

Our journal paper was 100% created during the UTM Work From Home (WFH) policy in the year 2021 pandemic. From social media instagram geo-data mining, geo-coding, geo-modelling, geo-analytics, official data correlation and writing, everything was done at home. The Geo: Geography and Environment journal is a Q2 journal with an impact of 12 and located in UK (Wiley Publisher). 

Using the new approach we created in GISc, the findings show that when the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) is implemented in Malaysia, the focus areas of Malaysians show uniform and consistent spatial pattern trajectories throughout the country. It is then supported by official data from the Ministry of Health Malaysia with an increase in cases of COVID-19 cases in the hotspot areas identified in this study.

What is unfortunate is that the findings of this study cannot be shared in advance for public use because the evaluation process by the reviewers of this international journal takes some time. However, we understand this enables the expert reviewers to evaluate the new proposed techniques, data, and writing to meet the world standards.

Hopefully, the new GISc techniques introduced in this journal can be used for future reference. Data mining from social media can provide insights into the findings of scientific studies.

P.S: This research is unrelated to the field of 3D GIS. But it shows how our new technique in GIS (2D) can help in predicting COVID-19 hotspots. Please don’t hesitate to read the paper and share it to your acquaintance and students. Thanks!

UTM METAVERSE


UTM METAVERSE

Throwback [24 May 2022] – First initial meeting call for UTM Metaverse project. It is a brainstorming session in bringing UTM to a new niche area which is developing metaverse for UTM.

I was able to give an idea on how to incorporate metaverse in the university. Among the advantages of creating a metaverse in the university are; students can socialize virtually, this includes going to lectures, sports, tadarus, and so on. Its a new concept (future new norm), which can be tested in the university.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE MEMBERS 

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE MEMBERS 

Invited to be one of the organizing committee members (OCM) for the International Summit on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering 2023. It is a new conference for me but being with other scientists and academicians from all around the globe makes me feel overwhelmed . It is a physical/face-to-face conference. Let us hope next year everything will be better.
