Unsurprisingly for a continent of its size, Asia has a large number of universities to choose from, with a significant number included in the QS World University Rankings® 2018. While many prestigious Asian universities date back to the 19th or early 20th century (if not before), the region is also home to many fast-rising young institutions.

In fact, Asia boasts six uninterrupted places at the top of the QS Top 50 Under 50 2018, which showcases the world’s top universities under 50 years old.

A total of 21 young universities in Asia are included in the Top 50 Under 50, more than any other region. This includes universities from across the continent, in both the far east and the far west of Asia, including countries such as Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Out of all the Asian countries featured, Hong Kong and Malaysia each have the most entries (four each), with all but one of Hong Kong’s representatives appearing in the top 10.

UTM is ranked at number 10 in the list of top 10 young universities in Asia in 2018, 21st in the Top 50 Under 50 and 253rd in the world this year. A research-intensive university, UTM was established in 1972 and specialises in engineering, science and technology. It is located in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru and aims to be a world-class centre of academia and technological excellence.

PUBLIC LECTURE BY PROF. RICARDO MARTINEZ-BOTAS, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

Dear All,

We are happy to invite you and your colleagues to participate in a two-day workshop on High Resolution Low KV Transmission Electron Microscope V2, to be held on 19th to 20th of September 2017 at Blok T03, UIRL, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru Campus.

In almost all fields of modern science and technology the demands on high resolution imaging on delicate nanomaterials are becoming ever more challenging. The answer to these challenges is a low voltage high resolution 120kV Transmission Electron Microscope with the new HR objective lens that minimizes spherical aberration coefficient and Dual Objective lens for both High Contrast/High Resolution imaging

The main topics covered in these course will
1) Basic Theory of TEM
2) TEM design and its imaging capabilities
3) Analytical attachments
4) Demonstration of the HR 120kV TEM and sample discussions

Therefore, this workshop is COMPULSORY for those who want to run analysis using TEM at UIRL.

For more details about the workshop can be found in the brochure as attached.

We are looking forward for your participation! Thank you.
Thank You/Terima Kasih.
