Dr. Asiful Habib is a dedicated researcher specializing in electrical machine design, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He is currently serving as a Lecturer at the Universiti Malaya Power & Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre (UMPEDAC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He obtained his PhD in 2024 from the National University of Malaysia (UKM), where his research focused on the design and prototyping of a multi-stage, multi-phase, fully coreless axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator. His work aimed to enhance the power density of electrical machines by leveraging the coreless concept and overcoming challenges associated with non-ferromagnetic materials. During his doctoral studies, he successfully designed and prototyped a 1.3 kW AFPM generator optimized for renewable energy applications, which led to a patent application for its innovative design. Prior to his doctoral research, Dr. Habib completed his M.Phil. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Malaya in 2020. He gained extensive research experience as a Research Assistant at both UKM and UMPEDAC, where he contributed to the development of a smart transportation system laboratory. This facility integrated renewable energy sources (wind and solar), lightweight generators, and electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management systems, advancing sustainable transportation technologies. Dr. Habib is highly skilled in Ansys Maxwell-based simulations for motor and generator applications in EVs and wind energy systems, complemented by practical expertise in real-time hardware performance evaluation. His research also covers power system resilience, with a particular focus on diagnosing and mitigating electrical machine winding faults through multi-phase generator modeling and prototyping. Beyond his research, he is actively engaged in academic training and mentoring, conducting workshops and guiding undergraduate students in projects such as EV battery cooling systems, which resulted in successful working prototypes. Dr. Habib has authored multiple ISI-indexed journal articles, IEEE conference papers, book chapters in the fields of electrical power systems, renewable energy, and machine design. His contributions significantly advance sustainable energy solutions, and he remains committed to pioneering innovations in electrical machines and renewable energy systems.

Vinnie Siow Wei Yin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Tropical Infectious Diseases Research and Education Centre (TIDREC), Higher Education Center of Excellence (HICoE) specializing in molecular parasitology and entomology. She holds a PhD in Molecular Parasitology from Universiti Malaya, where her studies focused on the association of filarial parasites with their hosts and vectors. She also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science (First Class Honours) from Management and Science University, where she received an Industrial Award for her outstanding contributions. Dr. Vinnie’s primary expertise lies in  filarial parasites, insect vectors, molecular analysis, insecticide resistance, and proteomic analysis. Her current research interests focus on insect vectors that play important roles in both medical and veterinary contexts, along with their associated infectious disease agents. She is committed to unraveling the complex relationships between insects and their parasites, particularly in the context of public health. Additionally, she has experience in the detection of soil-transmitted helminth diseases among the Orang Asli communities. Her research aims to develop innovative strategies for controlling vector-borne diseases, striving to make a significant impact in the field and improve health outcomes in affected communities. In her future endeavors, She aspires to lead impactful projects that bridge research and practical solutions in the fight against infectious diseases.
