EXCELLENCE IN ACTION – NEVIL SHINES WITH A COMMENDABLE GRADE IN HIS VIVA VOCE!

EXCELLENCE IN ACTION – NEVIL SHINES WITH A COMMENDABLE GRADE IN HIS VIVA VOCE!

Thrilled to share the incredible achievement of my MPhil student from Sri Lanka, Nevil! He absolutely shone in his viva voce, securing a commendable grade with just one month of corrections.

In a concise one-hour session, including Q&A, he showcased his expertise impressively.

Nevil successfully completed his MPhil research under my supervision in just 1.5 years. His accomplishments include publishing three (3) journals (Q1 and Q3), presenting at four (4) Scopus international conferences, securing three (3) intellectual properties, and having three (3) additional journals under review. In the beginning, Nevil thought achieving all this was impossible, but I continually assured him that it was possible.

Now, he’s rightfully recommended for a merit by the examiners for his study! Huge congratulations, Nevil!

Bridging Academia and Industry and The Crucial Role of MoUs between Research Universities and International Industry Leaders

Bridging Academia and Industry and The Crucial Role of MoUs between Research Universities and International Industry Leaders

In the ever-evolving landscape of innovation and progress, the synergy between research universities and international industry players is increasingly becoming a catalyst for groundbreaking advancements. At the heart of this collaboration lies the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a powerful tool that shapes the future of research, technology, and industry. Let’s explore why forging MoUs between research universities and main international industry players is of paramount importance.

1. Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Hub:

Research universities are hubs of knowledge and innovation. Partnering with international industry players through an MoU creates a two-way street for the exchange of ideas, cutting-edge research, and technological breakthroughs. This collaboration fosters an environment where academia and industry can coalesce, driving innovation to new heights.

2. Real-world Application of Research:

The synergy between academia and industry is where theoretical knowledge meets real-world application. An MoU facilitates the seamless integration of academic research into practical industry solutions. This bridge ensures that groundbreaking discoveries in university labs find their way into products, services, and technologies that impact society positively.

3. Access to Funding and Resources:

International industry players bring not only expertise but also substantial resources to the partnership. Through MoUs, research universities gain access to funding, state-of-the-art laboratories, and industry-specific resources. This infusion of support empowers researchers to pursue ambitious projects and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

4. Talent Development and Collaboration:

Collaboration with industry leaders opens up avenues for talent development. Students and researchers benefit from exposure to real-world challenges, industry practices, and mentorship from professionals. This dynamic interaction nurtures a skilled workforce ready to tackle the complexities of today’s global challenges.

5. Global Relevance and Impact:

An MoU with an international industry player elevates the global relevance of a research university. Collaborative projects extend the reach of research findings, enhancing the university’s impact on a global scale. This global footprint not only attracts top-tier talent but also positions the institution as a key player in shaping the future.

6. Commercialization Opportunities:

The collaboration facilitated by MoUs often leads to commercialization opportunities. Transformative research outcomes can find their way into the market, creating a pathway for industry partners to capitalize on innovative solutions. This symbiotic relationship strengthens the bond between academia and industry for mutual benefit.

7. Solving Grand Challenges:

Grand challenges facing society, from climate change to healthcare, require interdisciplinary solutions. MoUs enable research universities and industry leaders to pool their collective expertise and resources to tackle these challenges head-on. The result is a collaborative effort that transcends boundaries and addresses critical global issues.

The importance of forging MoUs between research universities and main international industry players cannot be overstated. It’s a strategic alignment that propels both entities toward shared goals of innovation, knowledge dissemination, and societal impact. As we navigate a future defined by technological advancements and global challenges, these partnerships forged through MoUs will be instrumental in shaping a world where academia and industry stand united on the forefront of progress.

SOUNDSCAPES UNVEILED: ADVANCEMENTS IN 3D CITY MODELLING FOR 3D TRAFFIC NOISE VISUALIZATION 

SOUNDSCAPES UNVEILED: ADVANCEMENTS IN 3D CITY MODELLING FOR 3D TRAFFIC NOISE VISUALIZATION 

Excited to share our latest publication in the Geomatics and Environmental Engineering journal: “Calculation of Road Traffic Noise, Development of Data, and Spatial Interpolations for Traffic Noise Visualization in Three-dimensional Space.”

Our study delves into the essentials of 3D traffic noise visualization, emphasizing the critical role of noise observation points (NOPs) and advancements in spatial interpolations. Explore how TIN noise contours prove optimal for visualizing traffic noise levels, and how advanced kriging, such as empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK), provides a significant leap in 3D noise interpolation accuracy.

UNLOCKING URBAN SPACES: A 3D SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF TEMPORAL MAINTENANCE IN MULTI-USE HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS

Exciting news to share! Kudos to my PhD students, Usman and Syahiirah, for the publication of their joint paper in the Geomatics and Environmental Engineering journal – a Scopus Q3 indexed publication. Our paper, titled “3D Spatial Analysis of Temporal Maintenance for Multi-use High-rise Buildings: Case Study,” delves into the complexities of managing and maintaining spaces in high-rise buildings amidst urbanization.

Summary: The study focuses on implementing temporal maintenance management for high-rise building parcels within a 3D spatial database. It involves 3D space segmentation to analyze ownership and usage, spatial queries for temporal maintenance, and 3D spatial relationships to identify adjacent parcels affected by maintenance. This innovative approach ensures accurate representation and identification of spaces crucial for enhancing the quality of life in multi-use high-rise buildings.
