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!

GBES 2023
Exciting news! Just wrapped up organizing the International Graduate Conference on Built Environment and Surveying (GBES) 2023. We’re thrilled to announce that we accepted 180 outstanding research papers for presentation.
It was an honor to have the Vice Chancellor of UTM officiate the event. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Vice Chancellor for encouraging and supports our young researchers in becoming an innovating solutions researchers for our future nation.
The conference took place from September 17th to 18th, 2023, and it was an incredible showcase of the latest advancements in our field.
What makes GBES 2023 truly unique compared to the last two series is our effort to make GBES as Scopus indexed for participants.
Thanks to everyone who participated and made this event a success!

FRGS REVIEWER ROLE
I’m honored to share that I’ve been appointed as a panel reviewer for the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS). It’s quite a transition from being an applicant myself, but now I have the privilege of evaluating research grant proposals in the Technology and Engineering domain, as well as the Natural and Cultural Heritage domain. It’s truly rewarding to shift gears and help other applicants in their research endeavors. Looking forward to the journey ahead! #FRGS #ResearchReview #Technology #Engineering #Heritage
Citra Karisma 2023
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!

Exciting day at the UTM GIS Training Camp 1!
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!

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.
