Dr. Mohamad Zaihan Bin Zailan is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Glami Lemi Biotechnology Research Centre, Universiti Malaya. Prior to this appointment, he served as a lecturer at the Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) from 2016, where he specialized in animal nutrition with an emphasis on alternative feed resources for ruminants. He obtained his PhD in Animal Production from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2024, with research focused on the utilization of fungi-treated oil palm by-products as sustainable feed alternatives for dairy goats. His academic and research expertise centers on the optimization of agricultural by-products for ruminant nutrition, aimed at enhancing livestock productivity while supporting environmentally sustainable practices. Dr. Zaihan’s current research agenda emphasizes the identification and evaluation of practical, farmer-friendly feed ingredients that can be cultivated locally, alongside the development of simple yet nutritionally effective ration formulations for ruminants. His work contributes to advancing sustainable livestock systems, particularly within the context of Malaysia's agricultural landscape.

Farhad Moradi received his BSc in Applied Physics from the University of Yazd in 2005 and his MSc in Medical Radiation Engineering from the Science and Research Branch of Azad University, Tehran, in 2011. He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia, in 2018, with a research focus on radiation dosimeters. He has held several postdoctoral research fellowships at institutions including the University of Malaya (Malaysia), University of Isfahan (Iran), University of Campinas (Brazil), and Multimedia University (Malaysia). He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Imaging, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya and his research interests include radiation therapy, radiation dosimetry, radiation shielding, and Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations.

Amy Then is a senior lecturer at the Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Malaya. She obtained her Ph.D. in Fisheries Science from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, USA in 2014. Amy’s research interests are highly diverse and focused on animal- environment-human interactions to inform meaningful, data-driven conservation and management efforts in the coastal and marine realms. Currently, she is working on broad topics of mangrove ecology, restoration and ecosystem services assessment, shark and ray fishery assessment, marine megafauna bycatch and linkages between marine protected area and the well-being of both ecosystems and humans. She co-developed a number of successfully funded local and international proposals that were highly interdisciplinary in the last six years with funding from the Global Challenges Research Fund, Newton Fund, and British Council. To successfully deliver these projects, she had been actively using multiple science and social science approaches and with relevant stakeholder engagements at varying levels. In addition to scientific contributions in high-impact journals that included Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, and Ecosystems, she also has diverse experiences in organizing international meetings, including the Third International Symposium on Mangroves as Fish Habitat (MAFH3).
