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!
Treat my hardworking research lab postgraduate students and postdoctoral staff to a taste of the king of fruits, the Durian, today!
To my colleagues who do not know what is Durian, it is a tropical fruit known for its distinctive odor, often described as strong and pungent, which some people find unpleasant. However, its custard-like flesh is highly prized for its rich, creamy texture and unique flavor. It’s often referred to as the “king of fruits” due to its revered status in many Southeast Asian countries. Give it a try!
Taking time to acknowledge the team’s dedication and efforts in pushing the boundaries of our research is crucial. Excited for a productive session and indulging in delicious durians together!

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!
BREAKING BOUNDARIES: A DEEP DIVE INTO 3D CITY MODELLING TOPOLOGY RULES IN GIS APPLICATIONS
Thrilled to share insights from our groundbreaking research: “Topology Models and Rules: A 3D Spatial Database Approach”. Our study delves into the intricate world of topological information, crucial for complex spatial analysis, particularly in describing the containment, adjacency, and connectivity of objects within a 3D space.
Traditionally, spatial databases have leaned on 2D topology mechanisms, often falling short in handling the intricacies of 3D topology functions. Our experiments, conducted within ArcGIS and Oracle spatial database, unveil the limitations of existing topology rules and models. Notably, while 2D geodatabase topology rules in ArcGIS effectively determine relationships between 2D multi-surfaces, they struggle with 3D objects.
Enter the 36-Intersection Model (36IM), the hero of our study. This innovative model, describing intersections from 0D to 3D, introduces a paradigm shift in handling topological relationships within Oracle. Our experiments showcase how 36IM topology rules bridge the gap, providing insights into dimensions of intersections and supporting the maintenance of topological information without breaking down 3D objects.
Curious to dive deeper into the world of 3D GIS, spatial databases, and the nuances of topology models? Explore our full paper for a comprehensive understanding of how 3D topology rules reshape the landscape of spatial data management. Elevate your knowledge and stay ahead in the evolving realm of GIS and 3D spatial databases!
