He has been trained at the University of Malaya for his neurology subspecialty training (2008), followed by fellowship training in Melbourne (2011) and Cleveland (2017) for epilepsy. He is the President of the ASEAN Neurological Association (ASNA, 2023-2027), the Chair-elect (2025-2029) and General Secretary (2021-2025) of the Asian and Oceanian Commission, International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE-AO), the chair of the Research Task Force in the commission, the past President of the Malaysian Society of Neurosciences (MSN) and Malaysian Epilepsy Society (PEM), an active member of the Malaysian Epilepsy Council and internationally and ex-chair of the Research Commission in the International Bureau of Epilepsy. He has been involved in many trials of newer treatments (e.g., newer drugs and transcranial magnetic stimulation) in epilepsy. He also specialises in non-invasive and invasive epilepsy surgery assessment, including long-term video-EEG monitoring, intracranial monitoring with stereo-EEG, subdural and depth electrodes, electrocardiography, and cortical stimulation. Other areas of expertise included vagal nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcutaneous direct current stimulation, corpus callosotomy and radiofrequency ablation. He is currently the Associate Editor for Neurology Asia, a reviewer for a few academic journals, and an organising committee member of multiple national and international conferences. He has published ≥ 150 original papers with an H-index of 24, in journals including Neurology (IF:8.055), Epilepsia (IF:5.562), Neuron (14.403), and JAMA Neurology (IF:29.91). His research work focuses on the psychosocial aspects of epilepsy, clinical studies, especially epilepsy surgery and seizures in brain tumours, genetics in focal and familial epilepsies, pharmacogenomics and pharmacokinetics of antiepileptic drugs, quantitative EEG and quantitative MRI research, and artificial intelligence. He is active in research, being the principal investigator and co-investigator in many local and international research projects, and has a strong collaboration with Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. He was awarded multiple university and national research grants of more than RM1.5 million, and he has supervised 20 postgraduate students and 30 international neurology fellows.

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.
