Thank you Prof. Dr. Kamarul Asri for getting my new book. I am so touched that a really amazing professor that we respect and look upon in the Faculty wanted to read my humble sharing. MasyaAllah.
I sincerely hope there’s something that can be of good use for Prof. K in the book. InsyaAllah.
There is a reason for this. There is a reason why I write this book. The reason is similar to why I started my Chemical Engineering World blog 13 years ago. I wanted to share experiences and informal knowledge of a practicing engineer.
This book will be ready somewhere in August.
“Learn something about chemical engineering that is not inside your text book”, that has always be my tagline.
Stay tune to capture the adventure of a chemical engineer. Get updates from my FB Chemical Engineering World Page.
FCEE’s Sustainability Task Force with cooperation from the UTM Green DNA (gDNA) Club will organize a paper recycling programme from Sunday, 10 December to Thursday, 14 December 2017. The area involved are around the lecturers’ rooms/offices at Level 2, 3 and 4 in building N01 and at Level 2 in building N01a. The programme will be conducted as follows:
1) Dedicated boxes will be placed at the corridor in front of the lecturers’ room/office on Sunday, 10 December 2017.
2) From Sunday (10 December 2017) to Thursday (14 December 2017), all lecturers are invited to recycle whatever paper that you have in your room/office that you would like to throw away, by putting them into the dedicated boxes. Please see the photo below for the example box.
3) On Friday, 15 December 2017, the representatives from the gDNA Club will collect all the papers from the boxes and sell it.
If there are any request to recycle papers from other areas, please do let us know. We are looking forward to get cooperation and support from all of you. For any problem or inquiries, please contact Dr. Azizul Azri Mustaffa (FCEE Sustainability Task Force) at 016-2195295 or e-mail: azizulazri@utm.my or Ms. Nor Irsalina Ahmad Khaliludin (UTM Green DNA) at 011-17645403 or e-mail: greendnaofficial@gmail.com. Thank you very much.
Our latest publication in Journal of Cleaner Production (2018). I really appreciate the collaboration with the sustainable team expert PM Dr. Haslenda and Dr. Zarina. I wish my student, Siti Mariah will also publish very soon.
14 bulan lalu dia menelefonku,
Pertemuan misteri pertama di ofis baru,
Diskusi “catalyst” dan “oil and gas”,
Untaian persahabatan baru tercebis.
Sederhana orangnya tapi luarbiasa,
Sumbangan research tazkirah kehidupan,
Nukilannya rentetan pengalaman bermakna,
Membacanya bikin diriku terkesan.
Highly recommended book: “Dari Delft Hingga Madinah”. Dapatkan segera.

Every academicians / researchers in a university all over the world will have their own Google Scholar Account by this era. I’m included. Like other comrades, I am striving hard to contribute as much as I can to the scientific community, especially those that dwell within the regions of Chemical Engineering. My Google Scholar stat info as per shown below (If you are interested to see, just click the image below to enlarge it). This is for my personal record to see, to assess, to evaluate, to reflect later in future, how I am performing as an academician / researcher. For record, I uploaded Figure 1 and Figure 2.

My 2 cents
As a new lecturer it is not easy to straight away jump and show colourful glaring Google Scholar Stat. There are so much to do such as prepare/write/submit research proposal to get research grants, get some students (good students), supervise and monitor research, write and publish in reputable journal, participate in conferences, perhaps write 1 or 2 book chapters etc. The impact of all this hardwork will only be materialize in the next few years. Well, I just completed my Ph.D in 2013 , struggled to secure some research grants in 2014 and managed to have some good students in 2015. So, now is the time to work smart and hard. I hope my Google Scholar stats will be more decorative in the coming 2017. InsyaAllah
Another of the paper I presented in ICAE 2014, Taiwan also got published in Energy Procedia Elsevier 2014. Alhamdulillah.
