Dr. Kamarul Ariffin Noordin is a distinguished academic and researcher in the field of wireless communications, with a decade-long focus on advancing communication technologies through impactful research and international collaborations. Since 2014, he has served as principal or co-principal investigator for competitive research grants totaling over RM1.4 million from esteemed bodies such as the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, the EPSRC UK, and UAE University. He is currently a Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Malaya. His research has spanned a range of groundbreaking topics, including seamless mobile communication in heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications for disaster management, and dynamic resource allocation using AI and UAVs for future 5G/6G networks. A notable highlight was his role in a three-year Global Challenges Research Fund project with the University of Surrey and other UK institutions, where he led efforts to develop emergency communication strategies in disaster zones. Dr. Kamarul has published over 70 papers in reputable ISI-indexed journals and conferences. His collaborative works include research with scholars from Vietnam, the UK, Norway, Greece, and the UAE, with contributions to emerging topics such as NOMA, SWIPT, and AI-driven wireless systems. His growing international visibility has led to increasing PhD supervision requests and global research partnerships.

Dr. Loh Kar Hoe (K.-H. L.) is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences (IOES), University of Malaya. He graduated with a B.Sc. majoring in aquaculture before pursuing his research in fish reproductive for his M.Sc. in NTOU, Taiwan. He obtained his Ph.D. in Fisheries Science from the NTOU in 2009 for doctoral work on taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of moray eels (Mureanidae). After his Ph.D., he spent one year at the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, Taiwan as a postdoctoral researcher. He joined IOES July 2011 as a research fellow. He’s team have discovery eight new species eels (Gymnothorax pseudokidako 2021, Gymnothorax pseudomelanosomatus 2015, Neenchelys gracilis 2015, Pylorobranchus hoi 2012, Gymnothorax melanosomatus 2011, Uropterygius oligospondylus 2008, Gymnothorax taiwanensis 2008, Gymnothorax shaoi 2007), and a lot of new recorded fish from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, and Taiwan. In addition to studying Malaysian fish otoliths, he is also working on the fisheries assessment work on sharks and rays. A total of 47 ISI articles have been published, and 26 technical reports of the IUCN Sciaenidae Red List assessments in 2020. He has collaborative research on the genetic diversity, population genetics of marine organisms; Reef fish diversity and abundance in Malaysian water through DNA barcoding and eDNA in Malaysia. Another study focuses on microplastics in the gill and stomach of fish. He recently secured a research grant to “Resolving systematics of Cephalopods using morphological and molecular approaches in Malaysia”, and “Environment DNA matebarcoding illuminates the diversity of sharks and rays” funded by WWF-Malaysia.
