Curriculum Vitae

DR. AZIZI BIN ABU BAKAR

Research Officer
  • Sustainability Development Centre
  • 03-79674635

BIOGRAPHY

Though his tenure be not extensive, his path has led him to the very heart of the university's research sanctuaries.

He hath administered the UM-Kyoto University Secretariat for the JSPS Asian Core, a noble endeavor linking the scholarly pursuits of Japan and Malaysia. In the Institute of Research Management and Services (IPPP), he hath delved into the depths of research impact, acquiring valuable insights, whilst at the UM Community Engagement Centre (UMCares), he hath judiciously dispensed grants to serve the common good. Now, at the UM Sustainable Development Centre (UMSDC), he doth oversee the alchemical experiments of living labs, where theory and practice intertwine.

Dr. Azizi's scholarly odyssey began with a bachelor's degree in Science & Environment Management, followed by a master's in Environmental Biotechnology, both from the esteemed Universiti Malaya. His intellectual pursuits reached their zenith with a doctoral degree in Environmental Engineering from the venerable Kyoto University in Japan. His research, a beacon in the vast sea of environmental science, doth illuminate the paths of bioremediation, geostatistics, and sustainable development.
