Posted on February 11, 2018 ·
Inatex 2017 has been held on 21-23 November 2017. For this year, we took part in two projects, one in gas application and another one in water application. Last year was the first time we took part in INATEX, you can read about my participation in INATEX 2016 here. So, for 2017, I tried to challenge myself to take part in INATEX bringing two projects. And the results turn really well, Alhamdulillah 🙂
Alhamdulillah, never expected to get the special invention award in INATEX 2017..has always been just an ordinary researcher in my centre (there’s so many extraordinary researcher in my lab 
?) and to get the recognition in university level..the feeling is beyond satisfaction
?.. I am so grateful to have excellent students under my supervision and good support system (family and friends) who always encourage me to try my best
?…seriously at first planning not to join this year’s competition as I have doubt on the demo part but my intention is to be fair to each of my students (last year bring dila’s product, why not bring faten’s product dis year?), and alhamdulillah the result turns really well.. we manage to win three award 1. Special Award for POLYACRYLONITRILE/MAGNESIUM OXIDE-BASED ACTIVATED CARBON NANOFIBERS FOR METHANE ADSORPTION 2. Gold Award for POLYACRYLONITRILE/MAGNESIUM OXIDE-BASED ACTIVATED CARBON NANOFIBERS FOR METHANE ADSORPTION 3. Silver Award for SMART NANOSTRUCTURED MEMBRANES FOR ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT.. Alhamdulillah, 2017 has been a fruitful year for us :)..Gonna work extra hard to achieve good results in the year of 2018…

On 9th of March 2017, my team and I participated in International Invention, Innovation and Design (IIID) Johor 2017 organized by UITM Johor held in Grand Ballroom, Amansari Residence Resort Bandar Seri Alam, Johor. With its motto ‘The Power of Innovation: From Prototype to Commercialization’, the objective of this exhibition is to
i. Promote a culture of innovation and creativity among professionals, university students and students from various fields.
ii. Highlighting the R & D and new inventions in the field of Science, ICT, Social Sciences, Business and Management.
iii. Generate designs and inventions that can be commercialized at national and international levels.
The exhibition is divided into three categories which are Professional, Tertiary and school level.
We entered the Science and Technology category under Professional level with me as the team leader.
We use the same product as in INATEX before but with some improvements on the presentation.
Since this was my second experience entering an Innovation competition, I am quite relax and a little be more prepared on the questions that might be asked by the panels 🙂
