Hema Subramaniam is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Software Engineering at the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Universiti Malaya. She holds a PhD in Software Engineering from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), awarded in 2016, after completing her Master of Computer Science (Software Engineering) in 2010 and her BSc in Information Technology in 2006, both from Universiti Selangor.  Her niche research area centers on software systems evaluation and analysis, with a strong emphasis on software quality metrics, energy-aware methodologies, and human-centered evaluation frameworks. She focuses on developing innovative approaches to assess and optimize software maintainability, performance, and scalability, while integrating sustainability and usability into modern software engineering practices. Dr. Hema’s work spans static and dynamic analysis, complexity-based energy estimation for AI-driven systems, and cognitive load-based usability evaluation, particularly in real-time and accessibility-focused domains such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). Through her publications and funded projects, she has contributed to advancing green software engineering, adaptive architectures, and intelligent evaluation models, translating theoretical frameworks into practical solutions that enhance reliability and inclusivity in software systems.

Dr. Muhammad Fazril Razif became a member of the Department of Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine in 2014. He completed his undergraduate education at Murdoch University (Perth, Australia) in 2007 with a double degree in BSc (Biomedical Science/Molecular Biology) and BSc (Forensic Biology and Toxicology; Minor in Criminology). In 2009, he joined the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to pursue his PhD research. After four years, he received his PhD from the School of Medicine and Pharmacology (University of Western Australia, Australia), with his project entitled “RNA-binding Proteins: Unraveling the code”. During his candidature, Dr. Fazril was shortlisted as a state-finalist for the AusBiotech-GSK Student Excellence Awards (2011) for his work. Dr. Fazril has worked on numerous research projects, including the expression and validation of synthetic proteins, genomics and transcriptomics studies on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, diabetes and schizophrenia. In 2017, he joined the Medicinal Mushroom Research Group (MMRG) and has great interest in studying the genome, transcriptome and proteome of medicinal mushrooms. His current research also focuses on the expression of novel proteins found in medicinal mushrooms and their bioactivities via pre-clinical and clinical studies. Academically, he has spearheaded the development of three new courses in the Department. These are GIM2001 Body and Your Health; MIX3001 Techniques in Molecular Medicine and GDM0006 Global Trends in Food and Health. He is also an active Faculty member, with positions as the Deputy Head (Research & Publication) in the Visibility, Information and Communication (VICFOM) Unit, member of the Internal Audit team under the Quality Management System (QMS) Committee, and member of the Occupational Safety and Health Committee (OSHE).  As a Principal Investigator, he has supervised 4 PhD and 2 MSc students, and is currently supervising 3 PhD and 1 MSc candidates . He has also published 3 Book chapters and 20 research articles, and have received a total of 8 research grants (3 as Principal Investigator). In 2017, he was awarded with “The Highest Number of Publications in the Department” award. In 2021, he was nominated by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation) to represent Universiti Malaya at the National Young Scientist Award 2021, Academy of Sciences Malaysia. At present, he is an Editorial Board member of two journals and is an Executive Committee member of the Malaysian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (MSBMB).
