Flavors of Success – A BBQ Night with the Dream Team

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!

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

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

Exciting day at the UTM GIS Training Camp 1!

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!
