Dr. Haezreena is a Criminologist and a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, University Malaya. She was called to the Malaysian Bar in 1997 and has extensive experience in civil and criminal litigation. Her specialization includes; human trafficking, transnational crimes, criminology, incarceration, gender, women's rights, terrorism and violent extremism, and criminal justice. She is also a Visiting Scholar at the School of Law of University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Dr. Haezreena Abdul Hamid has recently been appointed as an Expert by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the areas of Counter-Terrorism and Human Trafficking. She has been included in the ICC’s official List of Experts, marking a significant recognition of her expertise in international criminal justice and human rights. Given her extensive experience in anti-trafficking and human rights initiatives, Dr Haezreena was awarded a Grant by the United States Embassy of Kuala Lumpur in 2022 to conduct capacity building training for law enforcement officials and Protection Officers. She was also accorded a recognition for her role in elevating Malaysia to Tier Level 2 in the United States Trafficking in Persons Report by the Minister of Home Affairs, Datuk Seri Saifuddion Nasution in 2024. Dr Haezreena also received a Grant from ESIWA/EU (with the assistance of E8, Counter-Terrorism, PDRM) to interview returnees and ex-detainees from Syria and Afghanistan. Dr Haezreena was recently appointed by the Royal Malaysia Police to evaluate and assess two former Guantanamo Bay detainees who were affiliated with the Bali and Jakarta Bombings in 2002/2003. Dr Haezreena spent hundreds of hours with them and observed and evaluated their likelihood and propensity to re-offend, subsequently preparing a detailed report and recommendations for the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA). She has completed three separate projects which requires interviews and fieldwork. This includes spending thousands of hours interviewing 70 women prisoners across 6 prisons in Malaysia, 40 trafficking victims in shelters, and returnees and ex-detainees from Syria/Afghanistan who lived in conflict zones and were associated with terrorist groups. Her current achievement is her appointment as an expert for individuals charged with terrorism and terrorism related offences as well as the high profile GISBH case.  Dr Haezreena is guided by the works of Michael Foucalt who addresses the relationship between power and knowledge, and theorists such as Sandra Walklate and Nils Christie who believes that crime, offenders and victims are socially constructed.  Her thesis entitled 'Sex Trafficking: Victimisation and Agency: The Experiences of Migrant Women in Malaysia' received high praise from international scholars for its orginality and novelty. Her research did not only bring women’s voices and lived experience to the forefront but also revealed the women’s outlooks, vulnerabilities, and aspirations in order to improve the treatment of victims of trafficking. Dr Haezreena describes herself as a post-colonial theorist and a socio-legal scholar who thrives to uphold human rights and justice without fear or favour. Using her legal background and her criminological knowledge as her forefront, she strives to understand the fabrics of the society and make sense of the problems and dilemma faced by individuals from all walks of life. She is currently exploring the criminological theories that can be applied to terrorism, and the oscillation of victim to perpetrator to survivor.  Dr Haezreena has written books on trafficking in persons which are now used as a source and reference for enforcement officers and protection officers, as well as researchers. She has also written numerous articles on the continuum of harm of trafficking, victim blaming, inequality, social justice issues, and gender disparities. Her works are often cited and referred to by local and international NGOs, and government agencies.  Dr Haezreena's won the Excellent Lecturer's Award Universiti Malaya in 2024 and was given a plaque and certificate of recognition by His Royal Highness Sultan Nazrin Shah, Perak. She was also accorded the Sijil Perkhidmatan Cemerlang by the Faculty of Law in 2023.   

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ninie Suhana Abdul Manan is a lecturer and researcher at Universiti Malaya, recognised for her expertise in electrochemistry, advanced materials, and ionic liquids. She completed her PhD at Queen's University Belfast, focusing on the electrochemical behaviours of inorganic species—such as sulfur, mercury, and rare-earth elements (Lanthanides)—in ionic liquids. Her strong foundation in electrochemistry drives her research, particularly in redox processes and ion exchange at interfaces, contributing to significant advancements in electroanalytical chemistry. Her research portfolio underscores her contributions to developing state-of-the-art electrochemical sensors for the precise detection and quantification of chemical species. With applications in environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics, Dr. Abdul Manan has excelled in creating non-enzymatic biosensors and innovative electrode surface modifications.  Dr. Abdul Manan is also at the forefront of research on ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES), celebrated for their non-volatility, tunability, and environmental friendliness. Her work investigates these solvents for applications in electrochemistry, separation technologies, metal recovery, redox flow battery, and enhancing absorbents' efficiency in removing industrial contaminants, promoting sustainable industrial practices and green chemistry solutions. A significant milestone in her career was her 2017 collaboration with Lynas (M) Sdn. Bhd., where she was involved in developing ionic liquid-based methods for extracting heavy rare-earth elements, aiming to reduce acid consumption in the stripping process. She is a key member of the University of Malaya Centre for Ionic Liquids (UMCiL) and the Malaysia Ionic Liquid Research Society (MRILS), where she serves on the committee for 2024. Dr. Abdul Manan played a pivotal role in registering the society under ROS in 2016, where she was the first vice-chairman. Moreover, she actively engages with national and international industries through her work at the Center of Excellence for Rare Earth Elements for Analysis, Technology, and Exploration (CREATE) at Universiti Malaya focusing on midstream activities. Throughout her career, Dr. Abdul Manan has secured more than RM 2 million in research funding as a principal investigator and co-researcher for various projects to show her dedication to research activities. In her department, Dr. Abdul Manan holds various leadership roles, including Chair of the Postgraduate Bureau (2020) and Chair of the Undergraduate Bureau (2024). Her academic career is further distinguished by key responsibilities such as Program Coordinator, MQF Coordinator, Timetable Coordinator, Academic Advisor, and participation in multiple task forces, reflecting her steadfast dedication to academic and institutional development. Since 2013, Dr. Abdul Manan has been actively involved in training Malaysia’s International Chemistry Olympiad team, representing the country as a Scientific Observer (2014 and 2015) and Head Mentor (2018 and 2024). She was a key figure in establishing the Malaysian Association Science Olympiads (MASO), registering it under the Registrar of Societies (ROS), and currently serves as its first treasurer (2023-2024). Dr. Abdul Manan has received numerous awards for her work, including the UM Excellent Service Awards (2014, 2017) and the Certificate of Excellent Service (2023). The Academy of Sciences Malaysia recognized her with a prestigious award, inducting her into the Young Scientist Network (2023-2026), showcasing her leadership and commitment to scientific excellence.
