ESRI YOUNG SCHOLAR AWARD JUROR 2023

ESRI YOUNG SCHOLAR AWARD 2023

Feeling incredibly honored to be selected as a juror for the ESRI Young Scholar Award 2023! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the organizer ESRI Malaysia for entrusting me with this responsibility. It was truly inspiring to review the outstanding work of so many talented young scholars. Also, I couldn’t agree more with ESRI’s mission to support local young scholars. It’s important to nurture the next generation of spatial thinkers, and I’m proud to be a part of an organization initiatives that values that. Let’s continue to support and uplift our local GIS scholars!

PUBLISHED AND WE GOT IT OPEN ACCESS (FOR FREE)!

PUBLISHED AND WE GOT IT OPEN ACCESS (FOR FREE)!

Successfully published our research paper in volume 41 for the third edition this year (2023). The interesting part of our study this time is we observe the habits of litter in the community. Quite surprised with the amount of litter we collected within our research area. With the help of geospatial analysis techniques, we can see trends. 

However, research is only an instrument for studying the effects of this waste. But the most important thing is the attitude to keep our place clean. Please don’t litter everywhere, guys. We talk about the SDGs, the Sustainable City, the Green Life, etc., but it is useless if there is no right “litter” attitude. It all starts with you (and me).

Title: Within cluster pattern identification: A new approach for optimizing recycle point distribution to support policy implementation on waste management in Malaysia.

MOCK PROPOSAL DEFENSE

Spending my 3 hours time with final-year BSc Geoinformatics students under my supervision. This mock proposal is not obligated; rather, it is intended to teach students the fundamentals of delivering a proposal defence presentation as well as future presentations (after graduation). This is not a lecturer’s KPI; people say it only adds work. But, regardless of what others say, the important thing is that my students gain new knowledge for future use. And we had “makan-makan” at the end of the session.

 

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

I would like to share about our first publication of this year. Its a book chapter in Springer research book.

This chapter discusses on how noise mapping is constructed in 3D for the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus area. It is also the first approach made in UTM to visualize noise impacts in 3D. We use the techniques available in 3D city modeling to obtain the results of this study. More findings can be found in the chapter. 

This research is sponsored by UTM research grant. We would like to thank to UTM for giving us the opportunity to conduct this research. Here is the information about the book chapter:

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SMART CITY APPLICATIONS 2022

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SMART CITY APPLICATIONS 2022

We successfully published six (6) research papers at the International Conference of Smart City Applications 2022, which took place in Morocco. I want to congratulate all the research students in our lab who have worked so diligently on their research that it is now their works being acknowledged and accepted at international level. Your hard work paid off.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES

Regarding our study findings, we have successfully acquired new Intellectual Properties (IP) that have been granted Copyright status. This intellectual property focuses on the 3D voxelization method for developing wind flow models.

Congratulations to Nurfairunnajiha Ridzuan. The student’s efforts have been acknowledged with accomplishment. It is her first opportunity to work with intellectual property. I intend to educate my students on the application procedures for intellectual property.

We certainly hope that our research lab will generate a more significant number of IPs.

YEAR END 2022 RESEARCH MEETING

YEAR END 2022 RESEARCH MEETING

This meeting was postponed from November to December. This is because our research lab is undergoing a major renovation and expansion to meet the needs of new students.

This meeting we introduced 3 new research members namely Syafiq, Husna and Farah. Each showed good progress despite having just started their studies in less than two months.

Hopefully next year more and more interesting research can be produced from our lab. See you next year (IA)!
