Associate Professor Dr Wan Nurazreena Wan Hassan is a Consultant Orthodontist at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya, whose scholarship bridges digital dentistry with outcomes science in orthodontics. She is a subject-matter expert in Orthodontic-related quality of life (psychometrics as applied to malocclusion), treatment need, and patient-centred outcomes. Her leadership in dental education is demonstrated through pivotal roles as Deputy Dean (Postgraduate), previously Deputy Dean (Undergraduate) and Head of Department (cum Year 5 Leader, BDS), and Coordinator of the Orthodontic Postgraduate Programme, where she has led curriculum design and quality, assessment reform, and learner outcomes. Clinically, she integrates UK training (Cardiff, Wales) with a mini-preceptorship in Korea and a mini-residency in Japan to manage complex orthodontic cases, including cleft and craniofacial care, orthognathic surgery pathways, and obstructive sleep apnoea, translating multi-country best practices into Malaysian settings. Nationally, she serves on the Dental Specialist Evaluation Committee (DSEC) of the Malaysian Dental Council and contributes to evidence-based care, including the Clinical Practice Guidelines on Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and guidelines in orthodontics. Internationally, she is an Examiner (MOrth Part II and MFDS) for the Royal College of Surgeons of England and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. Her academic influence includes an H-index of 11 (Web of Science) and 320 citations. She continues to expand her research through supervision of more than 23 postgraduates (9 completed PhD/Clinical Doctorate/Clinical Masters; 5 completed masters; 6 ongoing PhD/Clinical Doctorate; 3 ongoing masters) and 15 undergraduate elective project pairs, leads competitive grants, and publishes widely on patient-centred outcomes, digital workflows, quality measurement, and dental education.

Dr. Hemza Azri is currently a senior lecturer at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malay. He has his PhD in Physics from Izmir Institute of Technology, Turkey, in 2018. His research interests lie in gravitational physics, specifically the theoretical and experimental aspects of general relativity (GR) and alternative theories of gravity. He also works on the interplay between gravitational and particle physics. Dr. Azri made significant contributions to purely affine gravity, a theory based on affine connections rather than the metric (as in GR) for describing gravitational interactions. For decades, these theories have been seen as lacking physical application due to difficulties in incorporating matter. In a series of papers, he succeeded in demonstrating the practical use of these theories by developing their cosmological implications. A notable result is a specific cosmological inflationary model, known as "Affine Inflation" proposed by him and his collaborator. He has also proposed (with collaborators) a gravity theory based on the Ricci determinant. This work presents for the first time a metric-affine Ricci-Determinant based type of gravity that, unlike GR and its standard modified versions, is non-polynomial in the curvature and is allowed by the general invariance. This type of gravity showed interesting implications for relativistic astrophysics. On the particle physics side, Dr. Azri worked on dark matter physics where he proposed (with collaborators) a gravitational scenario for dark matter decay into the standard model particles. As a theorist, he is interested in fundamental problems like the cosmological constant problem. Dr. Azri was also involved, as a researcher, in the UAE-ATLAS Cluster (CERN Experiment). Alongside his research activities, Dr. Azri has developed a strong profile as a teacher of physics. In his lectures, he places particular emphasis on clarity and logical structure, using well-chosen examples to guide students through challenging material and to encourage genuine understanding rather than rote learning. His commitment to effective communication also extends beyond the classroom: he is capable of presenting advanced physical ideas in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. By translating complex theories into clear and relatable language, he promotes a broader appreciation of physics and contributes to the public’s engagement with science.

Nor Badrul Anuar is an accomplished academic leader with a wealth of experience in various leadership positions. He currently serves as the Associate Vice Chancellor for Infrastructure and Information Services and acts as the Chief Information Officer at Universiti Malaya, where he leads various university services, including ICT, physical infrastructure, sports, and library services. As a senate member, he also chairs many ICT and infrastructure development committees. In addition, he leads the Centre of Research for Cyber Security & Network (CSNET). Nor Badrul Anuar began his academic journey at Universiti Malaya, earning his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science in 2001 and 2003, respectively. He obtained his PhD at the Centre for Information Security & Network Research, University of Plymouth, UK 2012. After joining Universiti Malaya as a tutor in 2001, he was promoted to lecturer in 2003, senior lecturer in 2008, and associate professor in 2017. In 2022, he was promoted to full professor at the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology at Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. In addition, he is also serving as a visiting professor at the Institute of Informatics and Computing in Energy (IICE), Universiti Tenaga Nasional, Malaysia. He has supervised numerous post-doctoral fellows and research students, including eighteen PhD and six master's research students, in the computer network security and applications domain between 2012 and 2022. He has published extensively on computer security and applications, with his work being featured in academic journals both domestically and internationally. As of January 2023, his 152 published papers have attracted 7,670 citations and obtained an H-index of 41, making him a highly cited scholar. He is recognised as an expert in several subject categories, including computer science, engineering, science & technology - other topics, telecommunications, and information science & library science, by Web of Science. In 2022, Stanford University recognised him as one of the world's top 2% scientists. Currently, he serves on the editorial board of two journals, including the Journal of Network and Computer Applications (JNCA), which has an impact factor of 7.574. He has received numerous honours and recognitions throughout his illustrious career. He was honoured by Universiti Malaya for eight consecutive years, from 2012 to 2019, for his outstanding service. In 2015, he was recognised as an outstanding lecturer in science at Universiti Malaya and was awarded the university's highest honour, the Universiti Malaya Excellence Award (Anugerah Cemerlang Universiti Malaya). His research interests are intrusion detection systems, high-speed networks, and management information systems. Specifically, he focuses on intrusion detection systems, intrusion response systems, security events and management, digital forensic and network security, switching, routing, IPv6, and multicast. His current research explores network traffic classification and its applications and the role of federated learning in enhancing network security.
