Dr Nur Azah Hamzaid is Senior Lecturer at the University of Malaya, Malaysia. She obtained her bachelor in Mechatronics Engineering (Hons) in 2006 and then pursued her PhD in Rehabilitation Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia. While her background is hard engineering, her interest in applying her Mechatronics Engineering knowledge into the rehabilitation field brought her to the Faculty of Health Science for her PhD, where she undertook clinical and biomechanics courses. Her PhD project was to develop and investigate the effect of a novel isokinetic FES leg stepping trainer for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury which was used by the patients in the Rehabilitation Gym in the University of Sydney Lidcome campus for their FES training sessions. She is now at Biomedical Engineering Department in UM since 2010, pioneering the Biomechatronics, Neuroprosthetics and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) research group in Malaysia. Dr Azah, as she is fondly called by her students in UM, teaches Biomechatronics and Prosthetics & Orthotics courses which include FES in Rehabilitation Robotics. In her second year of service in UM she was appointed as the Coordinator of Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering (Prosthetics & Orthotics), the first degree program aiming to produce Prosthetics & Orthotics Engineers in Malaysia. Her heavy involvement in curriculum restructuring, stakeholder analysis, students’ clinical placements and patients care as a teacher, researcher and program coordinator got her involved closely with ISPO Education group and the University Malaya Medical Centre, especially the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine – where she made many good and close research and teaching colleagues. Her work on Prosthetics for Rural areas in particular, got her involved with the CoPP group which included partners from the Netherlands, South Africa, and Indonesia, which is in line with the WHO GATE initiative and ISPO. Other than that, she is working on multiple projects for people with disabilities such as Spinal Cord Injury, amputation, stroke and children education with industry and community partners such as Ottobock Austria, EP-SI Singapore, UM Innovations Sdn Bhd and UMCares. She is currently the Head of Unit in Academic Development Centre (ADEC), UM, and is also currently the President of International FES Society Malaysia Chapter and Board Member of ISPO Malaysia Chapter. She is also the co-founder and current leader of the outreach program "Let's Go To Mummie's Lab" where knowledge bubble in the higher education sector is aimed to be delivered down to the early childhood education, particularly in the Biomedical Engineering field. She has published at least 20 ISI-listed journal papers, a number of conference papers, a book chapter and have filed a few patents – one listed in ISI patents in 2016. Dr Azah has so far graduated 1 PhD and many Masters students and she is currently supervising 4 PhD students and a few Masters students, while coordinating a number of undergraduate students projects; some scientific research involving patients and some device development in nature. She has also won a few Innovation Awards from PECIPTA, Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE), BioMalaysia and i-ENVEX apart from UM Award for PhD completion in less than 3 years. Her aim is to improve the Rehabilitation Engineering field in Malaysia by uplifting the knowledge and application through quality teaching and curriculum enhancement, better student experience and involvement in and out of class and in research, and bridging the gap between actual society and patient's need and technology provision through sustainable means.
