Dr. Fakhrur Razi Maamor holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) at Faculty of Art and Design, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam. He furthered his studies at the same university, obtaining a Master's degree in Arts and Design through a research mode. During this stage, he conducted research titled "Buah Buton at Luak Tanah Mengandung, Negeri Sembilan: The Interrelation of Cultural Context with the Adat Perpatih Community." His research focused on the aesthetic visual culture that aligns with the discipline of art. To ensure harmony within the context of Malay visual arts, he continued his research, incorporating philosophical aspects, and advanced to the Doctor of Philosophy level in the field of art at the Academy of Malay Studies, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. He successfully completed his thesis titled "Buah Buton di Luak Tanah Mengandung, Negeri Sembilan: Hubung Kait Kosmologi dengan Kehidupan Masyarakat Adat Perpatih", achieving the status of Graduate on Time (G.O.T.). Currently, his involvement in fine arts and visual culture extends to various activities and research both domestically and internationally. Numerous writings focusing on visual arts have been published, reflecting contemporary relevance while remaining rooted in the foundational content of artistic creation. As such, he firmly believes that content and ideas must be aligned to develop a coherent artwork.

Sabyasachi Das has obtained his Ph. D degree from Vidyasagar University, India in 2015 in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. He clinched 3rd position in M. Sc in Human Physiology with specialization in Microbiology and Immunology from Vidyasagar University in 2009.  He was also recipient of “Genetic Biotechnology, Senior research fellowship” from Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Govt. of India in 2013 and awarded JRF from Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt of India in 2009. After Ph D. he has completed two postdoctoral research from Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, India in 2017. In the same year he joined as a guest faculty of molecular biology and immunology in Vidyasagar University. Furthermore, he joined department of Physiology, Lincoln University College Malaysia as senior lecture in 2018 where he became HOD of Physiology in 2019. In early 2021, he joined as an assistant professor of department of Physiology, Manipal University College Malaysia. Subsequently, in 2024 he joined department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Malaya as senior lecturer. His field of research are broadly on infectious disease, malaria, cancer, host immune interaction, nano drug delivery and development of early detection kit. He has extensively worked on molecular epidemiology and drug resistant pattern of Plasmodium. falciparum in different endemic zones of India. He has widely worked on understanding of chloroquine, and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance in P. falciparum and P. vivax. He was the first person to identify the failing of artemisinin combination therapy efficacy in eastern India and found the evidence of emergence of partial artemisinin resistant P. falciparum, thereby established a novel validate marker of artemisinin resistance. He has also extensively worked on nano mediated drug delivery against, parasite, bacteria and cancer cells. He has also developed novel early detection kit for malaria and dengue. He has also worked widely on immunity after covid vaccination.  Till date he has published more than 30 international research articles in different reputed journals including New England Journal of Medicine, Clinical infectious disease, International J of Antimicrobial Agent, Antimicrobial Agent and Chemotherapy, International J Parasitology: drug and drug resistance, International J of Pharmaceutics, Journal of biological macromolecule, European J of Pharmacology, Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. He has one granted Malaysian Patent and filed one Indian Patent. He received prestigious INSA (Indian National Science Academy) Medal for Young Scientists for the year 2022 in health science (India’s highest recognition of promise, creativity and excellence in a young scientist). He also awarded “Young Scientist Award” in ‘Medical Science including Physiology’ by Indian Science Congress Association in 2017 for his commendable work in “Drug resistance malaria and nano drug development”. He has involved in different teaching activities for the students of different programs in University Malaya such as Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), and Bachelor of Dental Surgery. In his previous working place (MUCM) he was working as a Director of Research Management Centre (RMC) as well coordinator of mentor student project (MSB) for MBBS. He is the member of Royal Society of Biology (London). He is also the member of Malaysian Society of Pharmacology and Physiology (MSPP). He is also life member of The Physiological Society of Indian.

Dr. Fong Chng Saun is a senior lecturer at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Universiti Malaya. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Technology from University Putra Malaysia in 2016. Recognizing his academic excellence, he was offered the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree at Universiti Malaya, where he completed his PhD in Environmental Science, specializing in Urban Ecosystem Management, in 2021. Dr. Fong's primary research interest lies in urban ecosystem management with a significant emphasis on the urban heat island effect in tropical cities. His expertise extends to various domains including environmental science and technology, sustainable development, and atmospheric-related research such as air pollution monitoring and its health impacts. His work in these areas has garnered him recognition as a finalist for the Young Scientists Network-Academy of Sciences Malaysia (YSN-ASM) Chrysalis Award in 2020 and a place among the top 100 Scientists of Malaysia in the same year. Beyond his core research, Dr. Fong is proficient in using automated weather stations and IoT systems for continuous environmental monitoring. He has also made significant contributions to outdoor thermal comfort assessments, the study of heat stress and related illnesses, 3D urban microclimate modeling and simulation, air quality assessment, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), environmental pollution assessment, and climate resilience and adaptation. Dr. Fong has been prolific in his academic contributions, regularly publishing technical research articles, reviews, books, and book chapters in reputable journals. He serves as an invited reviewer for high-impact journals such as Science of the Total Environment, Sustainable Cities and Society, Energy & Buildings, Sustainability, and Urban Science. His notable research projects include studies on the urban heat island phenomenon in tropical cities, evaluating walkability indices to promote sustainable transportation at Universiti Malaya, and spearheading a carbon neutrality acceleration initiative centered on greenhouse gas emission analytics. Currently, he is involved in the NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health (RESPIRE) Air Quality Study, which explores the impact of environmental and air quality indicators on asthma health outcomes in Greater Kuala Lumpur. Dr. Fong is also deeply involved in the field of planetary health, addressing the interconnections between human health and the health of our planet. His research on future cities focuses on creating sustainable urban environments that can withstand the challenges of climate change and urbanization. This includes investigating the effects of urban design and greening on human health and the environment, developing strategies for urban heat mitigation, and promoting resilience and adaptation to extreme weather events. He is currently leading the Institute for Advanced Studies-Universiti Malaya Planetary Health (IAS-UMPH) as Program Director.  In addition to his research, Dr. Fong actively collaborates with various governmental bodies, private sectors, NGOs, and researchers from local and international universities. His dedication to the field of atmospheric technology has earned him membership in the Malaysian Board of Technologists. He is also a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities' Sustainable Urban Design Working Group and the Landscape and Human Health Working Group.
