3D CITY MODELLING ZEPHYRS: ENHANCING URBAN COMFORT THROUGH 3D WIND ANALYSIS
Thrilled to announce our latest publication: “Influence of Different Wind Angles on Pedestrian Wind Comfort in 3D Space”. Our study, employing Computational Fluid Dynamics and 3D city models, explores wind impact on pedestrian comfort.
Discoveries indicate that a 30° wind angle fosters the most serene environment. Check out the full paper for insights into enhancing urban pedestrian experiences! #Research #WindComfort #CFD #CityModels

New Research Grant
Thrilled to announce I’ve been awarded a Professional Development Research University grant by UTM! Grateful for this opportunity and excited to contribute to cutting-edge research. Huge thanks to UTM for the trust and support. Ready for the next chapter! #ResearchGrant #UTMOpportunity #Gratitude
Proud Mentor Moment!
I’m delighted to share that Sarah Syafiqah Nordin, my talented student, has just completed her thesis and graduated with flying colors!
Sarah’s research is a game-changer – the first in 26 years of GIS in UTM, to combine digital and physical GIS into a single 3D platform.
Let’s celebrate Sarah’s remarkable achievement and her promising future in the field of Geographic Information Science! #GIS #Thesis #Graduation #Innovation
Intern Program: Stellar Progress Wins Acclaim!
Our currently interning students with our research group, had the honor of presenting their progress to their internship coordinator/lecturer. Delighted to report that the coordinator’s feedback was nothing short of glowing, highlighting the remarkable work our interns are contributing.
These moments truly underscore the immense potential and promising futures our students possess. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to support and empower the next generation of aspiring researchers! #InternshipSuccess #FutureLeaders #ResearchExcellence
3D GEOINFO 2023 CONFERENCE
I am pleased to announce our participation in the 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference, where we will be showcasing our research in the field of 3D topology, which aligns with my area of expertise. Regrettably, due to my prior commitments as the chair of another conference this weekend, I am unable to attend the event in Technical University of Munich in person. However, we have diligently prepared a pre-recorded presentation to share our research findings. We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of 3D Geoinfo 2023 for this valuable opportunity.
As academics, we often face challenging decisions, and in this case, I find myself having to forgo two significant academic engagements: 3D Geoinfo 2023 in Germany and a keynote talk in Nice, Paris . If not, I can travel directly from ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023 conference in Egypt which I attended few days ago, and fly directly to Europe. Nevertheless, I recognized that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and my current focus is on the organizing conference that I am chairing on September 17th and 18th, 2023.
Today, I have a scheduled appointment with the Deputy Vice Chancellor of UTM in the afternoon for the conference officiation ceremony, and we remain dedicated to ensuring its success. We appreciate your well-wishes and support as we navigate these academic responsibilities. All the best for 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference as well!

ISPRS GEOSPATIAL WEEK 2023
Great news! Out of more than 700 submissions, we successfully presented two papers at the recent ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023, held in Cairo, Egypt. This biennial conference brought together geospatial experts from around the globe. While the event has concluded, we’re excited to share our insights and experiences from this exceptional gathering! Stay tuned for our papers, which will soon be available online in the ISPRS publication archives. #ISPRS2023 #CairoConference #Geospatial”
Proud Moment!
Heartfelt congratulations to my PhD student, Nurfairunnajiha Ridzuan, for acing her UTM PhD viva voce today with minor corrections! Her exceptional work has resulted in an impressive 10 publications and securing 2 copyrights.
She is part of the fast track student program, transitioning directly from BSc to PhD.
Well done, Fairun!

Celebrating the End of a Remarkable Research Internship!
I am thrilled to share an incredible 6-month internship journey of Aprillia Rahmi Utami from Institut Teknologi Nasional Malang (ITN Malang), Indonesia. As an intern, Aprillia came on board to UTM with zero knowledge in 3D city modeling, and it fills me with immense pride to witness her growth.
Throughout her tenure, Aprillia displayed determination and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She embraced challenges and continuously pushed her boundaries to learn and excel. Her dedication and hard work have yielded good results.
Aprillia has successfully created a stunning 3D LoD4 CityGML model for her Geodesy Building in ITN Malang kampus 1 and even conducted a groundbreaking 3D wind flow simulation for the ITN Malang campus.
Aprillia’s transformation from a novice to a proficient 3D city modeling student is an inspiration. It serves as a powerful reminder that determination knows no bounds when fueled by passion and a hunger for growth.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
I extend my warmest congratulations on this significant milestone, and I am confident that her future holds nothing but boundless success.
