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.

Professor Ramesh Singh has contributed immensely to the development and enhancement in science & technology in Malaysia, particularly in the field of ceramics engineering. Amongst his significant achievements include the development of an ageing resistant zirconia for steam environment, production of a novel nanostructured hydroxyapatite bioceramic derived from eggshells and bovine bones for orthopedic applications, and more recently is the tailoring of a novel electrical-conducive ceramic that is able to conduct electric current at room temperature without compromising on the mechanical properties. His work has attracted great interest from the industres locally and internationaly.
