Dr. Wahib M. Atroosh, hailing from Yemen, is a senior lecturer in the Department of Parasitology at Universiti Malaya (UM), where he has been a faculty member since 2019. He began his academic journey in the same department, completing his Master's degree in 2012, and subsequently pursued a PhD, which he earned with Distinction in 2017. Dr. Wahib's research focuses primarily on Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the majority of severe malaria cases and deaths in humans, known for its high mortality rate and increasing resistance to antimalarial drugs. His expertise includes monitoring antimalarial drug resistance through in vivo clinical trials and the application of molecular gene markers of drug resistance. In addition to his primary research on malaria, Dr. Wahib collaborates with local and international research teams, including partnerships with the Medical Research Center at Jazan University in Saudi Arabia, the School of Biological Science at Universiti Sains Malaysia, and the College of Health Sciences, Nigeria. These collaborations explore the epidemiology, genotyping, and molecular characterisation of antimalarial drug resistance in P. falciparum isolates from both Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. Dr. Wahib's contributions to the field of parasitology extend to other areas, including research on leishmaniasis, intestinal protozoa, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths (STH), and parasite-related health education programs. Dr. Wahib has also been involved in developing a novel gene marker aimed at differentiating P. falciparum isolates, enhancing the correctness of the malaria therapeutic efficacy studies outcome. Throughout his career at UM, Dr. Wahib has successfully secured internal and external research grants and contributed to 46 publications in indexed journals with an h-index of 21 and a total of 1,845 citations. He was also awarded the Universiti Malaya Excellent Service Award (APC) for the year 2023. Dr. Wahib actively contributes to the academic community as a member of scientific and technical committees and serves as a judge at international conferences. He is also a peer reviewer for several esteemed journals, including Scientific Reports, PLoS ONE, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Parasites & Vectors, Malaria Journal, Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, BMC Medicine, Pathogens and Global Health, and Tropical Biomedicine. His involvement in these roles underscores his commitment to advancing research and fostering collaboration in the field of parasitology.

Ahmad Syafiq Amir Abdullah Zawawi, Ph.D. is a junior linguist with expertise in Theoretical Linguistics, particularly within the Minimalist Syntax. I earned my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Linguistics from The National University of Malaysia (UKM), focusing on syntactic structures in Malay existential, possessive, and copular constructions. My academic journey also includes a Master of Arts in Malay Language from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and a First-Class Bachelor Degree in Teaching from the Institute of Teacher Education Malaysia (IPGM). I am an active researcher and author, with multiple publications in SCOPUS and WOS-indexed journals. My research primarily addresses minimalist syntactic theories, exploring constructs such as verb constraints in the Malay language and Austronesian languages. Additionally, I have presented my work at numerous national and international conferences. Adept in utilizing modern educational technologies and tools, I am proficient in corpus linguistics tools such as Wordsmith and AntConc. My linguistic skills span both Malay and English, complemented by a strong commitment to innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning. I remains passionate about advancing the field of linguistics and contributing to the academic and educational landscape through expertise, leadership, and research contributions.
