Dr. Sr Kho Mei Ye is a senior lecturer in the Department of Quantity Surveying, University of Malaya. She obtained her PhD from University Malaya in 2013. She has a Master Degree in Contract and Procurement and Bachelor Degree in Quantity Surveying from University of Malaya. Dr. Kho Mei Ye has worked as a consultant for a multinational construction company before she pursued her Master and PhD. She has worked and conducted research in several areas such as building commissioning, late payment, and project delay in construction. She has also been involved in many international and national conferences and workshops and has several journal publications to her name.

Professor Dr Hong Ching Goh, an interdisciplinary social scientist, studies human-environment interactions. Initially focused on urban planning and nature-based tourism, her approach has evolved to encompass sustainability, relevance, inclusion, and impact of scales. Her research inquiry explores how diverse communities benefit from nature, e.g., livelihood, health and wellbeing and intangible values. She investigates the threats and constraints posed by various anthropogenic actions and governance systems on the environment, and devises strategies for its safeguarding. This focus stems from her academic training in urban planning, tourism planning, and geography. Her research, with wide-ranging applications in urbanized environments, resource-rich regions and protected areas, draws inspiration from her fieldwork in Sabah since 2005, which has then driven her interdisciplinary coastal research in Southeast Asia. Currently attached to the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Built Environment, Prof. Goh also leads the Humanities and Social Sciences Group of the Malaysia National Antarctic Research Centre. She's a registered town planner with the Malaysian Institute of Planners and the Board of Town Planners Malaysia.  Prof Goh serves as the country coordinator for ForUm, a DAAD-funded network for Urban Futures in Southeast Asia that connects SEA and German experts since 2018. She also continues to serve on GYA membership selection and output review committees. Her commitment to interdisciplinary research has been significantly influenced by being a recipient of the MIT-UTM Malaysian Sustainable Cities Program Fellowship and the DAAD Doctoral Scholarship Awards where she conducted her doctoral study in the Center of Development Research (ZEF), as well as her memberships in ASEAN Science Leadership Program and Global Young Academy (GYA).  Since 2009, she has secured RM6.9 million in research grants, including RM4.95 million internationally. As a co-investigator, she helped secure the GBP6.4 million Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) grant. Her contributions to interdisciplinary research, particularly in marine environments and coastal communities, have earned recognition. This recognition was highlighted by the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur in 2021, in conjunction with International Women's Day and Commonwealth Day. In the same year, she was invited to join the UK Minister of Science, Amanda Solloway, and Professor Melanie Austen (University of Plymouth, UK) to discuss climate change impacts on marine environments and coastal communities in the Blue Communities program. In 2022, she was featured among the '100 Women Scientists in Global Polar Research. In 2024, she is appointed as the DAAD Research Ambassador in Malaysia in recognition of her outstanding contribution towards furthering the academic & scientific cooperation between Malaysia and Germany and awarded the Top Research Scientists Malaysia Award by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia.   To date, she has published more than 65 peer-reviewed articles, 30 book chapters and books, and other 40 publications. She has supervised nine PhD students and three master students to completion and oversees 10 ongoing students. 

Dr. Woon Kai Lin obtained his PhD in University of Hull in photonic liquid crystal. After graduation, he worked as a postdoc in electroluminescent liquid crystalline light emitting display capable of producing 3D image funded by a start-up company and venture capitalists. He also spent a year as a Postdoc in Oxford University to study whether photonic crystals in nature can be adopted for industrial application. Later, he returned to Malaysia to work as OLED (organic light emitting diode) materials and device specialist under OSRAM. The project initially focussed in passive matrix OLED display and then later in OLED lighting using solution processable techniques. The works involved co-operation with well-known multinational companies such as Mercks, Sumitomo and Philips.  Later he joined University Malaya working in the field of organic electronics specializing in organic light emitting diode. The works including leading cost effective  synthesis of organic semiconducting materials for lighting application, interfacial physics and fundamental mechanism of high performance OLED, accurate computation of OLED materials, organic field effect transistors and phototransistors.  Some of the works carried out in the University of Malaya involves co-operating with various universities in the world, domestic and overseas start-ups and local SMEs. He is actively filing patents in the field of organic electronics.The ultimate aim is to enhance the performance to price ratio for organic electronics by investigating and optimizing critical parameters and mechanism in organic devices using various analytical and processing tools available domestically and internationally including the use of synchrotron facilities.He is also the  material science program co-ordinator setting new undergraduate Material science lab and program. Material Science under Physics department has been ranked the best in Malaysia and Faculty of Science.
