Dr. Norfadira binti Wahib, Ph.D. (UNSW, Australia), MSc (UM, Malaysia), BSc (UM, Malaysia) is a senior lecturer in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya. She specializes in Radiation and Materials Physics, with expertise in passive dosimetry, luminescent materials, and radiation–matter interactions in solid-state systems. Dr. Norfadira has collaborated with leading academic and research institutions, including the University of New South Wales (Australia), Sunway University (Malaysia), and Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malaysia), advancing research in radiation physics, optical materials, and optical spectroscopy, while also teaching and mentoring in fundamental and applied physics. Her research journey began with the study of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) in marine organisms and seawater, which has since progressed into advanced investigations on thermoluminescent and optical materials for retrospective and medical dosimetry, and next-generation optical data storage technologies. Her contributions have been presented at international conferences in Malaysia and Australia, and her innovations in radiation detection materials have been recognized with multiple awards, including the Gold and Special Award at Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE 2025) and the Gold Award at the International Invention & Innovation Exhibition (ITEX 2016).Her research strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being – through the development of passive dosimetry systems and luminescent materials for safer medical imaging and radiation monitoring. SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure – by advancing radiation detection technologies and optical materials for industrial and scientific applications. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production – by promoting sustainable radiation practices and materials for safer environmental monitoring.   Her long-term vision is to pioneer next-generation passive dosimetry systems and luminescent materials that strengthen radiation and medical safety, as well as environmental monitoring, while actively contributing to the training of future physicists and more collaborative research her field.

Dr Hany Mohamed Aly Ahmed was born in Göttingen, Germany in 1980. He is an Egyptian and was graduated from Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University (ASU), Egypt, with a Bachelor's Degree in Dental Sciences (B.D.S.) in 2002. He started his clinical postgraduate program in Endodontics with a Higher Dental Diploma (H.D.D.) degree in 2006, and he is registered as a Dental Specialist in the field of Endodontics by the Egyptian Dental Syndicate in 2012. Dr. Ahmed continued his postgraduate studies, and joined a Master Degree program (M.Sc.D.) at the School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in 2009 which was converted to Ph.D. in 2011. In July 2023, he has been promoted to Consultant of Endodontics by the Egyptian Dental Syndicate. Dr. Ahmed has been granted a number of awards for his research on the application of Portland cements in Endodontics including the IADR (SE Asian division) for the best laboratory research in 2014. He has also been granted several awards, in Malaysia and Singapore, as a supervisor for several elective research projects. Dr. Ahmed has published more than 120 articles in recognized international journals such as Journal of Endodontics and International Endodontic Journal. In 2012, Dr. Ahmed has introduced a new classification for endoperio lesions, which was published in ENDO, and with experts from Brazil and UK, he has also introduced a new system for classifying the root and root canal morphology in 2016, in addition to accessory canals and dental anomalies in 2018. With an expert from Australia, he has also introduced the PROUD guidelines (Preferred reporting items for root canal morphology in the human dentition), published in the European Endodontic Journal. Dr Ahmed has delievered a number of scientific and clinical lectures and workshops in several countries such as Australia, Austria, Italy, Vietnam, Thailand and Egypt. He was also invited as a Keynote Speaker by the European Society of Endodontology which was held in Vienna, 2019, Budapest 2022, Helsinki 2023 and Paris 2025 and he also lead a number of workshops related to root and canal morphology. Currently, he is an associate professor of Endodontics at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya, and he leads a number of grants in Malaysia related to root canal morphology and endodontic bio-materials. He has received two awards from the UM - Excellent service certificate (2019) and Excellent service award (2022). In 2021, he has obtained the membership diploma from the Faculty of Dental Trainers, Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh), and he became a fellow of the International College of Dentists, USA. Recently, he was granted the Membership Diploma from the Faculty of Dental Surgery, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Glasgow (MFDS RCPS), and the Fellowship from the Faculty of Dental Surgery, Royal College of Surgeons, England (FDS RCS). Dr Ahmed has also been listed in the top 2% Scientists worldwide, Stanford university report from 2022 to 2025 (single year) and career-long (2025). He is a scientific reviewer and editorial board member in national and international journals. He is an editorial board member of the International Endodontic Journal (The official publication of the British Endodontic Society). He also is the Deputy Editor-In- Chief of the European Endodontic Journal. He is one of the editors for the book entitled "Endodontic Advances and Evidence Based clinical guidelines" published by Wiley in 2022.
