Dr. Woi Pei Meng is an accomplished academic affiliated with Universiti Malaya, specializing in applied electrochemistry. She obtained her Ph.D. in Electrocatalysis in 2011, with a primary focus on developing solid-state electrocatalysts inspired by the FeFe-hydrogenase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for facilitating the reversible conversion of dihydrogen and holds significant technological promise for clean energy applications. Her expertise lies in electrode surface modification using materials like carbon-based polymers, first- and second-row transition metals, and 2D materials. She employs electrochemical techniques such as electropolymerization and electrodeposition to achieve these modifications. Dr. Woi's current research is centered on the development of electrochemical sensors. She has contributed to the creation of non-enzymatic biomedical sensors designed for precise detection of metabolites like glucose, sodium, and chloride in bodily fluids. Additionally, her work includes the development of a self-correcting divalent cation sensor for precision agriculture, enabling the measurement of plant macronutrients at the ppm level. This innovation can aid the agricultural industry in optimizing fertilizer usage. Her cutting-edge research also extends to the field of synthetic photosynthesis, with the aim of developing a solid-state electrocatalyst system inspired by nature. This system has the potential to produce hydrogen and convert greenhouse gases into renewable fuel, offering a promising solution to global energy challenges.

A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Drama, Faculty of Creative Arts. An alumnus of the Cultural Centre, University of Malaya with a background in dance and drama. Specialize in Drama/Theatre (in) education, Arts-Management and Cross/inter-Disciplinary Exchange. My research at the postgraduate level concentrated on the use of drama and performance for the second (English) language classroom which identified its related set of challenges and possibilities. I further obtained a PhD in Theatre Studies from the University of Warwick in which my thesis examined the nature of MAKUM Theatre Festival as a form of university theatre modelled by the Creative Campus. One of the aims of this endeavor was to document theatre as conceptualized and fashioned by the general division of arts and non-arts students. I thus engage in arts (theatre) management and drama for education at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and currently serves as Postgraduate Program Coordinator. My research interest lies in the application of drama and theatre as creative, innovative and alternative method to teaching and learning, as well as further developments in drama with technology for advancement. Central to my studies is the role of drama/theatre for human development, focusing on issues that relate to dramatic and theatrical application within and outside the field. Along this line is the significant impact of the performing arts on doers (performers) as well as observers (audience). Experienced in mixed-method research, instrumentation design, and continuously seeks opportunities for collaborative and cooperative efforts for the further expansion of drama/theatre application, both formal and informal, in and outside academia.

Dr. Asiful Habib is a dedicated researcher specializing in electrical machine design, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He is currently serving as a Lecturer at the Universiti Malaya Power & Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre (UMPEDAC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He obtained his PhD in 2024 from the National University of Malaysia (UKM), where his research focused on the design and prototyping of a multi-stage, multi-phase, fully coreless axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator. His work aimed to enhance the power density of electrical machines by leveraging the coreless concept and overcoming challenges associated with non-ferromagnetic materials. During his doctoral studies, he successfully designed and prototyped a 1.3 kW AFPM generator optimized for renewable energy applications, which led to a patent application for its innovative design. Prior to his doctoral research, Dr. Habib completed his M.Phil. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Malaya in 2020. He gained extensive research experience as a Research Assistant at both UKM and UMPEDAC, where he contributed to the development of a smart transportation system laboratory. This facility integrated renewable energy sources (wind and solar), lightweight generators, and electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management systems, advancing sustainable transportation technologies. Dr. Habib is highly skilled in Ansys Maxwell-based simulations for motor and generator applications in EVs and wind energy systems, complemented by practical expertise in real-time hardware performance evaluation. His research also covers power system resilience, with a particular focus on diagnosing and mitigating electrical machine winding faults through multi-phase generator modeling and prototyping. Beyond his research, he is actively engaged in academic training and mentoring, conducting workshops and guiding undergraduate students in projects such as EV battery cooling systems, which resulted in successful working prototypes. Dr. Habib has authored multiple ISI-indexed journal articles, IEEE conference papers, book chapters in the fields of electrical power systems, renewable energy, and machine design. His contributions significantly advance sustainable energy solutions, and he remains committed to pioneering innovations in electrical machines and renewable energy systems.
