Exciting news! Just had to share the buzz from UTM’s Excellence Award Ceremony 2023 – yours truly snagged the Publication Award for Authors in Indexed Journals!
Life’s funny, huh? Big shout-out to UTM for this recognition. And major props to my fellow colleagues for always having my back.
Picture this: my name gets called out at Dewan Sultan Iskandar, UTM, but guess where I am? Yep, you got it! I’m parked in my office, knee-deep in my students’ SCA 2023 papers.
Let’s raise a virtual toast to balancing these milestones with the everyday grind – cheers to all of us rocking that academia hustle!
Had the privilege of teaching nearly 60 enthusiastic students the art of topographic map making using data from diverse sources for the beautiful Sireh Park, Johor Bahru.
In just a day, our students learned the skills to create impressive maps in the morning and later confidently presented their work in the afternoon.
Huge thanks to my amazing postgraduate students – Husna, Farah, and Shakirah – for their invaluable assistance in making this event a great success!
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.
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.
