BOUNDLESS COMMITMENT: A STUDENT’S DRIVE IN SPATIAL ALGORITHM AND APPLICATIONS

Thrilled to share a heartening experience with my international exchange student at UTM! She specifically chose my Spatial Algorithm and Applications course, and during the test, I was amazed to see her dedication. Not only did she buy my digital book, but she also went the extra mile—printing, binding a physical copy, and even translating it into Chinese. Truly inspired by her commitment to learning!

SPATIAL SYMPHONY: 3D CITY MODELLING OF TRAFIC NOISE DECIBELS WITH HENK DE KLUJIJVER MODEL

Exciting news! Our recent publication in the prestigious Q1 journal “Noise Mapping” explores the intricacies of visualizing road traffic noise using the Henk de Klujijver model. 

Delving into the challenges of 3D noise contours, we emphasize the critical role of noise observation points (Nops) within a 3D building model. Our study reveals that Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) interpolation outshines others, offering superior accuracy in 3D noise contour visualization. 

Dive into the full paper to uncover insights that contribute to refining traffic noise planning policies and spatial interpolation techniques! #TrafficNoise #SpatialVisualization #NoiseMapping #ResearchDiscoveries

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.

BIG DATA SPATIAL MODELS FOR TEMPORAL GRAPH DATABASES SPATIAL QUERIES

Exciting news! Our recent IEEE publication, “Modelling Reoccurrence of Events in an Event-Based Graph Database for Asset Management,” explores efficient ways to handle recurring maintenance events in asset management.

We introduce three temporal graph data models, assessing their performance on synthetic datasets. The findings highlight the second model’s efficiency with smaller datasets and the third model’s prowess with big data scenarios.

These models go beyond asset management, providing a foundation for event-based data management using graph databases. Dive into the full paper for insights into optimizing asset maintenance and more!

Flavors of Success – A BBQ Night with the Dream Team

Had an amazing BBQ night with my wonderful postdoctoral, PhD, and MPhil students at Sireh Park, right by the lake. We enjoyed delicious BBQ and skewers, sipped on chai from Usman, savored the fantastic sauce from Husna, indulged in viral drinks by Farah, and were treated to expert grilling by Nevil and Tariq.

It was also our first research lab outdoor activity with our newly registered MPhil student, Wiliyan Ricky Abdullah. Exciting times ahead! 

And a warm welcome to Dr. Khaled Almansi as well, our new postdoctoral staff from Palestine, who just arrived today and BBQ night is his first activity with us. Looking forward to a couple of years of research experiments in 3D City Modelling and GIS with him. 

I did not know that my students are talented in F&B business as well. Thank you for making this night fantastic #TeamWork #ResearchNight #BBQFun

Fun times at Usman’s place!

Fun times at Usman’s place!

Today, we swapped lab coats for casual wear and enjoyed a fantastic hi-tea courtesy of our very own PhD student, Usman! Great food, amazing chai, and even better company – what more could you ask for on a Friday evening?

Kudos to Usman for being the perfect host and bringing our lab family together outside of work. These moments make research life sweeter!
