Firstly, I am Chan Chow Khuen, a researcher and lecturer from Biomedical Engineering Department, University of Malaya. I have graduated the PhD study from National University of Singapore with the focus on Computer Modelling and Simulation for Human Biomechanics. The current research area is artificial intelligence in biomechanics with the focus on machine learning and deep learning with the big dataset particularly with the biosignal from human. Some of the biosignals are electromyography (EMG), EEG (electroencephalogram), and ECG (electrocardiogram) and also medical images. Aside from the biosignal, we develop computer algorithms for deep learning (RCNN and LSTM) in facilitating the medical practitioners to expedite and detect abnormalities regarding to human health.

Abrizah Abdullah is a Professor at the Department of Library & Information Science, and is currently Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science & Information Technology University of Malaya (UM). Prior to this, she served as the Dean of the Institute of Postgraduate Studies UM, where Abrizah and her team were responsible in managing the postgraduate education and ensuring the highest level of full research programme conducted in the university. She was a teacher librarian and had ten-years secondary school teaching experience, and was appointed as an Assistant Director at the Educational Planning and Research Division (EPRD) Ministry of Education Malaysia, before joining the University in 2000. Abrizah graduated with a Bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from Temple University Philadelphia, and obtained her Masters and PhD degree both in Library & Information Science from UM. Her research interests focus on digital libraries, information behavior, scholarly communication and bibliometrics. She is still an active researcher, heading her own research group in Scholarly Communication. She is a Senior Academic Associate at CIBER Research Ltd. UK and is currently involved in international research (The Harbingers Project) funded by the Publishing Research Consortium UK that investigates the scholarly communication behaviors of Early Career Researchers involving 7 countries (China, France, Malaysian, Poland, Spain, UK and USA). Her prior research group’s works on digital libraries, bibliometrics and scholarly communication led to the development of a Malaysian journal hosting platform MyJurnal and a national citation indexing system, MyCite, in 2011, where she was then appointed as the Deputy Director of the Malaysian Citation Centre. She is currently in the advisory panel of the Malaysian Citation Centre, Ministry of Education.
