Dr. Jeevan began his academic journey by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in 1999. He then advanced to Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), where he completed an MSc in Mechanical Engineering in 2003 and a PhD in Heat Transfer in Electronic System in 2007. In 2014, he obtained a Professional Certificate in Electronic Engineering from the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), further cementing his status as a registered professional engineer. Dr. Jeevan holds a chartered engineer registration via IET (UK) since 2012 . Within the Faculty of Engineering, he leads interdisciplinary research efforts in optimization, artificial intelligence, and control systems, with applications in healthcare, IR4, and electronic circuits. He heads the Expert System & Optimization Lab (ESOL), which focuses on integrating AI and swarm intelligence with control strategies to address societal challenges like cancer treatment optimization and Industrial Revolution 4. ESOL collaborates with dental faculties at UM and international institutions across the UK, Germany, and China. Dr. Jeevan’s research portfolio is both broad and impactful: he has authored over 100 peer‑reviewed journal articles, garnered more than 1,300 citations, and currently having an H‑index of 20(2025). Noteworthy recent publications include studies on cancer chemotherapy controlled via optimal control and swarm intelligence; exploration of distortion estimation using image gradients; investigations into vehicle type classification using semi‑supervised PCA and convolutional networks; and research with Malaysian Industry related to Industry Revolution 4.0. In 2024 alone, he co-authored works on dual‑therapy cancer control and metaheuristic optimization for treatment planning, demonstrating his ongoing leadership in high‑impact interdisciplinary research. Beyond research, Dr. Jeevan is active in grant panel review, academic examination, and journal referee service. He has served as a panel assessor for UM internal grant schemes (2019–21) and reviewed proposals for Universiti Pertahanan Malaysia, Taylor’s University, and the international journal Applied Soft Computing and IEEE access. In recognition of his dedication to service, he received the Certificate of Excellent Service from Universiti Malaya in 2014 . In the classroom, he teaches the Optimization Methods (KIE4024) and Numerical Analysis(KIE3005) for undergraduates and lectures on Machine Learning(KQC7015), Industrial Automation and Robotics(KQC7031) and Embedded System(KQC7029) for Masters of Coursework, equipping engineering students with AI‑based approaches to address complex, real‑world engineering problems through optimal control and swarm intelligence.

Dr Lim Quan Hziung is serving as an Endocrinologist and Medical Lecturer in Universiti Malaya (UM) / Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC). He obtained his basic and postgraduate medical degrees, as well as Endocrinology subspecialty training at UM.  He is a committee member of the UMMC Diabetes Care Unit, where he treats patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, and coordinates delivery of comprehensive diabetes care.  He has supervised numerous masters and undergraduate medical students and is actively involved in multiple research projects. His research interests includes type 1 and type 2 diabetes, population metabolic health, obesity and its related comorbidities. He has published in multiple international medical journals including The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Journal of Diabetes Investigation among others. His work has been presented at international conferences including the United States Endocrine Society annual conference (US ENDO), ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Society (AFES) Congress, and the International Diabetes Epidemiology Group biennial symposium.  He is regularly engaged for talks with healthcare workers and the public to share on topics on Endocrinology and Diabetes. He has been invited for national media appearances, and has had articles published in various local media. 

Chong Yang CHUAH is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Malaya (UM). He gained BE and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His research is dedicated to the separation process with the use of adsorption and membranes in molecular-based separation process. Dr. CHUAH's professional qualifications include being a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng) since 2023, accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), United Kingdom. He is currently involved in reviewing the Individual Case Procedure (ICP) to access potential C.Eng applications submitted to IChemE. He also obtained his Professional Technologist (Ts.) status in 2022 from the Malaysian Board of Technologist, Malaysia. He has also received several certifications, namely HRD Corp Certified Trainer in July 2024 and Aspen Certified User in Aspen HYSYS in 2023.
