Dr Norhidayah Mohd Taufek is a senior lecturer at the Institute of Biological Sciences (ISB), Faculty ofScience, Universiti Malaya (UM). She obtained her PhD from ISB, UM in 2017 with specialisation inaquaculture nutrition research. She is a researcher with a demonstrated history of working in theaquaculture field on fish nutrition, reproduction endocrinology and aquaculture feed technology.Her current research interests include the development of sustainable solutions for animal feedincluding aquatic animals and poultry. Special focus is given towards utilization of local renewableresources such as insects meal including black soldier fly larvae and crickets as well as mushroom by-products and underutilized crops. She is also actively working with the industries to promote the use of black soldier fly asprotein source to produce cost-effective and Halal feed as well as for the implementation of circularbioeconomic purposes.
