Juwairiah Osman merupakan pensyarah kanan dan ahli akademik dalam bidang linguistik terapan, pembelajaran bahasa, bahasa Melayu untuk penutur antarabangsa, sosiolinguistik dan linguistik am. Pada 2021, beliau menyertai Akademi Pengajian Melayu sebagai felo SLAB dengan iltizam dan semangat untuk menjadi ahli akademik yang dikenali ilmunya. Maka, pengajian doktoret dijalankan dengan begitu mendalam. Beliau pernah mengajar di salah sebuah universiti awam sebagai guru bahasa dan tenaga pengajar kursus kemahiran insaniah. Juga pernah mengajar warga asing profesional yang ingin mempelajari komunikasi bahasa Melayu. Sebelumnya, beliau pernah menjadi penyelidik siswazah atau pembantu pensyarah di UPM serta mengajar di sekolah menengah swasta. Sehubungan itu, beliau telah memenangi pelbagai pertandingan inovasi dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran sehingga pernah dua kali dinobatkan sebagai tempat kedua terbaik dalam pertandingan inovasi, iaitu kategori bukan teknikal dan kategori inovasi secara individu di Pahang dan Kuala Lumpur. Kini, beliau meneruskan pemantapan dalam mengajar serta penerbitan bagi pengkhususan linguistik. Juwairiah sangat memperhalusi penggunaan bahasa dan unsur linguistik yang berlaku di persekitaran dan masyarakat sekeliling agar masyarakat sentiasa sedar bahawa setiap ayat dan frasa pasti membuahkan hasil dalam bentuk nilai kemanusiaan dan material. Beliau telah menyampaikan puluhan kertas kerja di pelbagai persidangan dalam dan luar negara pada peringkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa secara bersemuka dan dalam talian sepanjang berkecimpung dalam dunia akademik lebih daripada sepuluh tahun.    

Luqman Hakim has built a diverse career across manufacturing, oil & gas, and industrial digital technologies in Malaysia and the UK. He observed that while companies aim to innovate sustainably, many struggle to advance R&D without the right research partners. If this felt like you, this is where he can help. His current work focuses on developing functionalised, micro- and mesoporous materials such as zeolites, activated carbon and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for water and gas purification. Specifically:   (1) For water treatment: removal of trace, harmful organic pollutants like poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), endocrine disrupting compounds and microplastics.   (2) For gas purification and separation: capture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), moisture (water) or filtration of other hazardous industry gases (CO, CO2, H2S, SOx, NOx). See an example of news coverage on his past PhD project.   In particular, MOF materials also hold great potential in improving catalytic reactions and process efficiency; an area which he plans to venture next. He welcomes any collaboration opportunities either from the industry or other academic institutions to help solve the technical challenges together.
