Born in the vibrant royal town of Klang, Selangor, Professor Mohd Fakhrul Zamani Bin Abdul Kadir (MFZKadir) is an accomplished individual. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Computational and Electronics Physics from the esteemed Universiti Malaya in 2006, setting the foundation for his academic journey. Demonstrating his determination and drive, he wasted no time in launching his career as a manufacturing executive at Texas Instruments (M) Sdn. Bhd. Shortly thereafter, in 2007, he eagerly pursued his Ph.D studies. What truly sets Professor Kadir apart is his exceptional achievement of completing his Ph.D. program at the Universiti Malaya in less than three years. This remarkable feat exemplifies his dedication and intellectual prowess, earning him a distinguished award in 2010. His scholarly accomplishments have undeniably positioned him as a trailblazer in his field. From 2010 to 2016, he served as a Senior Lecturer at the Physics Division, Centre for Foundation Studies in Science, Universiti Malaya, and since then, he has been promoted to the position of Associate Professor and subsequently to Professor at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science. Additionally, he held the position of Deputy Director (Academic and Development) at the Centre from November 2014 to July 2016. His research aligns with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), as it focuses on developing innovative and sustainable materials for energy storage devices. Biopolymer electrolytes offer a promising alternative to traditional materials, contributing to a more accessible, environmentally friendly, and technologically advanced energy landscape. Throughout his tenure at the Universiti Malaya, he has secured funding and grants totaling nearly RM 2 Million, authored 188 journal papers indexed in WoS, boasting a remarkable H index of 55. Moreover, he has successfully supervised the completion of 8 Ph.D. and 6 MSc. candidates. Demonstrating his commitment to academic rigor, he actively serves as a reviewer for prestigious journals, including those published by Springer and Elsevier. Since 2010, he has held the esteemed position of Head of the Advanced Materials Lab in the Centre for Foundation Studies in Science. Notably, his exceptional achievements during his postgraduate studies garnered him several prestigious awards, both domestically and internationally. Among his notable accolades are the Prize Ministry of Education and Science of The Russian Federation and the Silver Medal at the International Trade Fair 2007 (Iena) in Nuremberg, Germany, awarded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Government. Continuing his pursuit of research excellence, his work gained international recognition once again during his tenure as an academician at the university. His research on "Electrical analysis of amorphous corn starch-based polymer electrolyte membranes doped with LiI" was acknowledged with the exclusive 'Physica Scripta Highlights of 2013' Collection by Institute of Physics (IOP).  He has received several gold, silver and bronze medal awards in international and local invention exhibitions, including IENA, ITEX, MTE, DSSS, PECIPTA and PITRAM. Additionally, in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, he was listed as one of the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University. To acknowledge his outstanding contributions, Universiti Malaya awarded him the most outstanding young researcher in the science discipline for the year 2022. In 2025, Professor Kadir's contributions to research were recognized by the goverment with the prestigious Malaysia's Research Star Award (MRSA). Nominated by Clarivate Analytics, he received the award from the Minister of Higher Education, YB Dato' Seri Diraja Dr. Zambry Abd Kadir.

Dr. Lim Einly is an internationally recognized leader in cardiovascular biomedical engineering and currently serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Universiti Malaya. She is the founder and principal investigator of the Asian Cardiac Engineering Group, an interdisciplinary research team that advances personalized cardiovascular modeling, medical image analysis, physiological control of cardiac assist devices, and telehealth technologies. Her work has played a central role in bridging engineering innovation with clinical practice, contributing significantly to the convergence of medicine, engineering, and digital health. Dr. Lim earned her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of New South Wales under the prestigious Australian EIPRS scholarship. She has authored over 70 Web of Science–indexed journal articles, secured more than RM3 million in competitive research funding, and received numerous accolades, including the Royal Society (UK) Newton Advanced Fellowship and the 2023 Chairpersonship Award from the Asia-Pacific Society for Artificial Organs (APSAO). In 2023, she chaired the 7th Annual APSAO International Congress in Kuala Lumpur, which brought together over 80 delegates from 9 countries—demonstrating her leadership in fostering international scientific collaboration and elevating Malaysia’s profile in cardiovascular research. A significant component of Dr. Lim’s academic leadership is her prominent role in establishing the Dual PhD program between Universiti Malaya and the University of New South Wales (UM-UNSW). She has been instrumental in shaping its structure, mentoring students across institutions, and nurturing cross-border research ecosystems. The program has allowed students to benefit from exposure to two world-class research environments. To date, four students have successfully graduated under this initiative, with three currently in progress—making it a sustainable model for international research training and capacity building. As a dedicated research mentor, Dr. Lim has supervised nine PhD and ten Master by Research students to completion and currently oversees seven PhD candidates working across advanced cardiovascular engineering topics. Her research team collaborates with global leaders including Imperial College London, University of Queensland, Texas Heart Institute, and the National University of Singapore.
