Dr. Nuradilla Mohamad Fauzi is a senior lecturer at the Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya (UM). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology and a Ph.D. degree in Genetics, both from University of California, Davis, USA. She seeks to understand how organisms respond to stress and adapt to the environment by using techniques in molecular biology and biotechnology, towards the goal of conservation of ecosystems and agricultural sustainability. Her ongoing projects are clustered in two main areas: 1) stress and reproduction in small ruminant livestock (agriculture), and 2) coral reef restoration and ecology of marine organisms. Working together with other livestock biotechnology researchers in UM, she is investigating the effects of temperature-humidity stress in the tropics on the physiology and reproduction of sheep, as well as the population genetics of Barbados Blackbelly sheep in Peninsular Malaysia. Within the marine context, she investigated the relationship between light availability, photosynthetic performance and photosymbiont association in sea anemones off the coast of Johor, Malaysia. She is one of the principal investigators in Project PULIH (Protecting Underwater Life through Integrated reHabilitation), in which she is examining the relationship between molecular age and regeneration of hard corals for improving coral restoration success rates, and exploring the diversity of crustose coralline algae, an important foundational organism in coral reefs, in Malaysia through molecular tools.

Additionally, he serves as the Secretary for the Audio Engineering Society (AES) Malaysia. Dr. Hasnan's contributions extend to scholarly pursuits as well. He authored the first Malay-language book on music production, titled "Asas Rakaman dan Produksi Muzik", a pioneering work in the field. Furthermore, his research on Nonlinear Mixing Systems, conducted during his tenure at the University of York, was presented at prestigious events such as the AES Convention 2019 in Dublin and the Art of Recording Conference at Berklee College of Music. Currently, Dr. Hasnan serves as a Senior Lecturer, imparting his expertise in audio engineering and music production at the esteemed University Malaya.

Amir is a syntactician who mainly conducts research on the syntax of copular constructions but also has an interest in other areas of grammar such as extraction, expletives, morphosyntax, historical syntax, and typology (especially that of the Austronesian languages). He was awarded a PhD in Linguistics and English language by the University of Edinburgh and an MA in Linguistics by University College London, the thesis of both of which focused on copular constructions in Malay specifically. In addition to his expertise in Malay theoretical/descriptive morphosyntax, he is also au fait with the literature on English morphosyntax and has a firm grasp on phonology as well as pedagogy, owing to his Bachelor's degree in TESL from UiTM. . . . . Those looking to conduct research in the fields of syntax, morphology, and their applications in other areas, are welcome to enquire. I am able to supervise students who would like to focus on languages other than English or Malay as well.
