Proud Mentor Moment!
I’m delighted to share that Sarah Syafiqah Nordin, my talented student, has just completed her thesis and graduated with flying colors!
Sarah’s research is a game-changer – the first in 26 years of GIS in UTM, to combine digital and physical GIS into a single 3D platform.
Let’s celebrate Sarah’s remarkable achievement and her promising future in the field of Geographic Information Science! #GIS #Thesis #Graduation #Innovation
Intern Program: Stellar Progress Wins Acclaim!
Our currently interning students with our research group, had the honor of presenting their progress to their internship coordinator/lecturer. Delighted to report that the coordinator’s feedback was nothing short of glowing, highlighting the remarkable work our interns are contributing.
These moments truly underscore the immense potential and promising futures our students possess. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to support and empower the next generation of aspiring researchers! #InternshipSuccess #FutureLeaders #ResearchExcellence
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
3D GEOINFO 2023 CONFERENCE
I am pleased to announce our participation in the 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference, where we will be showcasing our research in the field of 3D topology, which aligns with my area of expertise. Regrettably, due to my prior commitments as the chair of another conference this weekend, I am unable to attend the event in Technical University of Munich in person. However, we have diligently prepared a pre-recorded presentation to share our research findings. We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of 3D Geoinfo 2023 for this valuable opportunity.
As academics, we often face challenging decisions, and in this case, I find myself having to forgo two significant academic engagements: 3D Geoinfo 2023 in Germany and a keynote talk in Nice, Paris . If not, I can travel directly from ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023 conference in Egypt which I attended few days ago, and fly directly to Europe. Nevertheless, I recognized that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and my current focus is on the organizing conference that I am chairing on September 17th and 18th, 2023.
Today, I have a scheduled appointment with the Deputy Vice Chancellor of UTM in the afternoon for the conference officiation ceremony, and we remain dedicated to ensuring its success. We appreciate your well-wishes and support as we navigate these academic responsibilities. All the best for 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference as well!

ISPRS GEOSPATIAL WEEK 2023
Great news! Out of more than 700 submissions, we successfully presented two papers at the recent ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023, held in Cairo, Egypt. This biennial conference brought together geospatial experts from around the globe. While the event has concluded, we’re excited to share our insights and experiences from this exceptional gathering! Stay tuned for our papers, which will soon be available online in the ISPRS publication archives. #ISPRS2023 #CairoConference #Geospatial”
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!

Proud Moment!
Heartfelt congratulations to my PhD student, Nurfairunnajiha Ridzuan, for acing her UTM PhD viva voce today with minor corrections! Her exceptional work has resulted in an impressive 10 publications and securing 2 copyrights.
She is part of the fast track student program, transitioning directly from BSc to PhD.
Well done, Fairun!

IFTAR 2023
Our lab’s day out. I am happy to invite my MPhil and PhD students for an Iftar session. Sorry for my students who are in their home country, maybe next time we can have this Iftar session again. No academic research discussion today. Only food and chit chat.
