Najah Zainal Abidin is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya. Her research delves into the intricate ways language influences political, gender, and social dynamics. With a keen interest in the interplay of evasive language, hate speech, impoliteness, and the giving and taking of offenses, she explores how these elements manifest in both everyday conversations and online environments. Najah's work also focuses on discriminatory and offensive language, examining how it shapes and reflects societal attitudes and power structures.

Dr Lee obtained a Japanese Government scholarship to pursue his Ph.D in Hokkaido, Japan. Upon graduation, he continued his research in marine microbial ecology in Malaysia. Throughout his service at University of Malaya, he was awarded fellowships as visiting lecturer to the Faculty of Earth & Environmental Sciences, Hokkaido University and to the Research Center for Environmental Change, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Dr Lee is interested in marine microbial ecology, studying the abundance and diversity of microorganisms, ecological drivers for microbial dynamics, microbial process rates, and the interaction of microorganisms in the sea. Knowledge from these observations and measurements are applied to our understanding of the microbial food web and carbon fluxes. This in turn, can help us better understand how the marine environment responds to environmental changes especially eutrophication and climate change.
