In 2012, Shafina completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Otago in New Zealand. Following this, she embarked on a dedicated service as a dental officer at the Ministry of Health Malaysia until 2015. Later, she joined the Universiti Malaya, where she garnered a scholarship by the Ministry of Education Malaysia for her specialty training. Shafina pursued a Master of Science in Clinical Dentistry at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, a milestone she attained in 2018. During the same year, she was awarded the Membership in Periodontics examination by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Upon her return from the United Kingdom, Shafina assumed the role of a clinical lecturer at the Universiti Malaya until September 2022. Throughout her tenure, she dedicated herself to both undergraduate and postgraduate education, encompassing academic and clinical aspects. Her impact extended to guiding master's students in navigating project management and thesis composition. Shafina has secured multiple research grants that facilitated the exploration of her diverse interests in fields such as Periodontology, Artificial Intelligence, and the response to COVID-19. She has contributed to scholarly discourse through the authorship of book chapters and publications featured in high-impact journals, as well as through her engagement with mass media. Her remarkable achievements have been recognised with several awards. Particularly noteworthy is her receipt of the prestigious Dental Education and Clinical Experience Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2022. Presently, Shafina is pursuing her doctorate at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. Her research focus is centered around leveraging artificial intelligence to predict the prognosis of treatment outcomes for gingival recession around teeth.

Dr. Narsimlu Kemsaram is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He holds Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees in Computer Science. His research focuses on AI-enabled autonomy for robotic systems, with particular emphasis on multi-robot coordination, swarm robotics, and aerial robotics (UAVs). He develops learning- and perception-driven methods that enable robots to operate collaboratively and robustly in complex real-world environments, bridging algorithmic innovation with deployable robotic platforms.During his PhD, he served as an Assistant Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (University of Würzburg), Germany, contributing to the project “An Autonomous Sensor Network for the Detection and Observation of Meteors (ASMET)”, funded by the European Union Regional Development Fund (EU-RDF). Following his PhD, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Mobile Perception Systems (MPS) Lab, Signal Processing Systems Group, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), The Netherlands, where he worked on “Integrated Cooperative Automated Vehicles (i-CAVE): Sensing, Mapping, and Localization”, supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). He then joined the Space Robotics (SpaceR) Group at the SnT Research Centre, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. There, he contributed to EU- and nationally funded projects on trustworthy and connected robotic systems, including “Secure and Safe Multi-Robot Systems (SESAME)” (EU Horizon 2020) and “5G-Sky: Interconnecting the Sky in 5G and Beyond – A Joint Communication and Control Approach” (Luxembourg National Research Fund, FNR CORE). Most recently, he was a Research Fellow in Multi-Robot Systems in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL), London, United Kingdom, where he worked on “Swarm Spatial Sound Modulators (Swarm SSMs)”, funded through an EPSRC Prosperity Partnership and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This work strengthened his focus on scalable multi-robot autonomy and swarm intelligence, including coordination, perception, and distributed decision-making for cooperative robotic systems. Research Interests: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Aerial Robotics (UAVs), Multi-Robot Systems, Swarm Robotics.
