She holds a PhD in Architecture and Building (Sustainable Design) from Universiti Malaya and a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering (Hons). Her research primarily focuses on advancing sustainability in the built environment through energy-efficient design, carbon reduction strategies, and the application of life cycle assessment in evaluating building performance. Mozhgan’s work extends to green building practices in retrofitting projects, emphasizing the use of benchmarking and rating tools to improve environmental performance and support sustainable development goals. With over a decade of combined academic and professional experience, she integrates practical architectural design expertise with research-driven approaches. Mozhgan is a certified Green Building Index Facilitator (GBIF) and member of the Malaysia Green Building Council (MGBC), committed to promoting sustainable and climate-responsive practices in the built environment.

Dr. Maziah Mat Rosly is an expert on serious games and exergaming for active living. She received her MBBS degree from Manipal Academy of Higher Education in 2011 and obtained her Dual PhD in Exercise Physiology and Health Sciences from Universiti Malaya and The University of Sydney in 2019. She is affiliated with numerous serious games programs built for long-term sustainability, cost-efficient deployment and effective health management. Dr. Maziah is mainly responsible for overseeing the development, design and implementation of serious games for education and innovating virtual reality-based exergames to improve adaptability, reduce carbon footprint and, provide highly cost and space-efficient mechanisms for sports and exercise training. Her latest project involves designing a VR cube e-sports exergame feasible for deployment in East Asian urban cities and for space exploration.

        LING Tau Chuan is a Professor at the Universiti Malaya.  Tau Chuan graduated from the Universiti Putra Malaysia with a Degree in Biotechnology and stayed on to undertake Master Environmental Engineering study. He then completed a PhD at the University of Birmingham, UK with Prof Andrew Lyddiatt looking into development of cost-effective proteins downstream processing techniques. Following graduation in 2002, Tau Chuan joined the Universiti Putra Malaysia as a lecturer.    Since joining the Universiti Malaya, Tau Chuan has established an internationally recognised research activity in proteins downstream processing and bioprocess engineering, funded by Government of Malaysia and industries.  Tau Chuan is a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers and a Chartered Engineer. He is listed in the UM Researchers Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University and was awarded the Young Asian Biotechnologist Prize 2017 from The Society for Biotechnology, Japan. He has served as a visiting professor for several universities including Nanjing Agricultural University, Tsinghua University, Xiamen University, Lund University, National Cheng Kung University, Canterbury University and Kobe University. Tau Chuan’s expertise is in bioseparation technology and bioprocess intensification. He is internationally recognised for innovative work on the development of new and/or improved bioprocess separation and analytical techniques. He is especially well known for his work on primary capture technology, notably for inventing the technique known as aqueous two-phase systems and continuing the advancement of this and other separation techniques for large-scale application in the biopharmaceutical and nutriceutical sectors, and for his contributions to the advancement of adsorbent design and Fluidised Bed Adsorption technology. His current research mainly focuses on bioseparation, bioprocessing, green chemistry, and bioprospecting of microorganisms for useful biomolecules.
