P. Raveendran received the B.Sc and M.Sc degrees in electrical engineering from South Dakota State University, Brookings, South Dakota, USA in 1984 and 1985 respectively. He was a systems designer with Daktronics, U.S.A before joining the Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, as a lecturer in 1986. In 1992, he received a Ronpaku scholarship from Japan to pursue Doctorate in Engineering, which he completed in 1994 at University of Tokushima, Japan. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1995 and was promoted to Professor in 2003. His research areas include image and video analysis, formulation of new image descriptors for image analysis, fast computation of orthogonal moments, analysis of EEG signals, and data modeling of substance concentration acquired from non-invasive methods. His contributions can be seen in the form of journal publications, conference proceedings, chapters in books and an international patent to predict blood glucose levels using non-parametric model. He has successfully supervised to completion 17 Ph.D students and 13 students in M.Eng.Sc (Masters by research). He is currently a Senior IEEE member and also a member of the Signal Processing Society.

Dr. Tuan Zaharinie Binti Tuan Zahari is a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaya (UM). She holds a Bachelor of Engineering (2006) and a Master of Engineering Science (2009) in Materials Engineering, as well as a PhD (2014) in Advanced Manufacturing Technology: Brazing, all from the same university. She specializes in metal and alloys heat treatment and joining technology, particularly brazing process for similar or dissimilar materials and porous metal joining. She also explores the research areas of heat transfer, energy, and material recycling. She has published more than 25 technical papers and a book chapter in this fields which are mostly International Scientific Indexing (ISI)-indexed journal papers. She is also an active researcher who has received and been the principal investigator for various research grants, including University of Malaya Research Grant (UMRG), Impact-Oriented Interdisciplinary Research Grant Programme (IIRG), two times Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) from Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE), etc. She teaches several courses for Mechanical Engineering undergraduates, such as Manufacturing Technology, Machine Tool Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Processes, Energy and Environment, etc.
