REPRESENTING 3D TOPOLOGICAL ADJACENCIES BETWEEN VOLUMES USING A 36-INTERSECTION MODEL

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

Our recent journal publication in Geomatics and Environmental Engineering Vol. 16 No. 2 (2022).

This article created a new topological intersection model called the 36-Intersection Model for 0 dimension up to 3 dimensional spaces. Feel free to read the article below with tons of new improved mathematical equations (if you don’t mind):

QUICK-WIN RESEARCH GRANT 2022 RECIPIENTS

QUICK-WIN RESEARCH GRANT 2022 RECIPIENTS

Fortunately, I was chosen as one of the Quick-Win Research Grant recipients for 2022. Only 31 research proposal were accepted out of a total of 203 submissions. Approximately 15% proposals granted.

I am highly thankful to UTMSpace for entrusting this project to me. Quick-Win research grant 2022 is a one-year research funding. I was granted RM50,000 and specified KPIs to accomplish.

DISCUSSION WITH PLAN MALAYSIA

DISCUSSION WITH PLAN MALAYSIA

Today we had a productive discussion with PLAN Malaysia. We’re attempting to determine how we might assist in determining Malaysia’s readiness to realise a smart city.

Thanks to i-Plan Malaysia for the comprehensive explanation as well as a quick overview of the Malaysia Urban Observatory (MUO).

NEW PATENT FILING REGISTERED FOR 2022

NEW PATENT FILING REGISTERED FOR 2022

I am thankful to have successfully filed a patent at the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO). My invention is entitled “A 3D Topological Based Cadastral Management System”.

The topology here is not topological error checking for geometric errors, as most researchers commonly understood. On the other hand, it’s the central topology in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) discipline. Whenever spatial entities exist, they are linked together by distinct mathematical formulas based on their unique interactions.

ICSEE 2022 – KEYNOTE PRESENTERS LINEUP

ICSEE 2022 – KEYNOTE PRESENTERS LINEUP

Browsing through the International Conference on Construction, Structure, and Environmental Engineering 2022 website, I’ve noticed that the keynote presenters at this conference are from all over the world.

I am proud to be the sole representative of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) as keynote speaker at this conference. Hope everything goes smoothly and onwards will increase the visibility of UTM’s geospatial field in the eyes of the international community.

NEW PHD STUDENT 2022

NEW PHD STUDENT 2022

My warm welcome to my new PhD student, Usman Mehmood from the National Mapping Agency of Pakistan. We have a productive introductory meeting in the lab with other lab members. All the best!

2021 UNIVERSITY’S SERVICE AWARD

2021 UNIVERSITY’S SERVICE AWARD

I just had the chance to take all of the prizes that had been awarded to me. Because of the unexpected situation of this pandemic, there has been a delay in the acceptance of these prizes. This is how things are now. 

I’ll say it again: I didn’t expect all of these awards. This is a group effort, not just mine. This is a memory I’ll keep in this post.

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

Unexpectedly, for the first time ever, our internship students planned for a meal in the lab. Soon after our short research discussion, we enjoyed our meal and cakes. It goes on with good laugh and jokes together with our Research Officer and postgraduate students.

Upon completion of the internship, the students have remaining 2 weeks of study breaks before the new semester begins. Since they are doing well in their tasks, 3D GIS Research Lab is offering them an opportunity to continue their research tasks after completing their internship.

They accepted it since they like to learn new stuffs in the lab. I would say that the lab will be seeing them again for another two weeks. Happy researcher happy minds!

Farewell Session

FAREWELL SESSION

Since this week is the last week for the internship students at the 3D GIS Research Lab, I invited them to a farewell session at a nearby restaurant.

We have our meals and discuss about research (a bit) and the rest chatting about future plans and about their social life.

We enjoyed the food and the environment that night. Hope their memory with this lab will be good memories in doing their practical training.

All the best to them!

World Health Organization (WHO) Request

 

I am astounded when I got an email from the World Health Organization or WHO. They ask me to review their article about COVID-19 pandemic for WHO newsletter.

I’m really surprised because I’m not a medical doctor who specialises in this field of pandemics. But after looking at the article, my opinion is needed from the aspect of spatial/space sciences included in the article.

It’s an honour for me to accept this invitation. Given the relatively short review duration, I do understand the urgency for it and will try to give my scientific review and opinion to the best of my knowledge and experience.

From my initial point of view, the article have an impact in terms of analyzing COVID-19 spreading among humans in confined spaces.

Let us all fight this COVID-19 pandemic together!
