Prior to this appointment, he was the Dean of Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya (August 2019-June 2021). Professor Dr. Sabri Musa pursue his studies in 1982 at the Science Foundation Centre, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 1989, he graduated from Universiti Malaya with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and joined the Faculty of Dentistry. His clinical and research training was conducted at the Eastman Dental Institute, University of London, where he received his Master of Science in Paediatric Dentistry with a 3M Prize Award in 1993. In 2020, he received his doctorate degree (PhD) from Universiti Malaya. Professor Dr. Sabri Musa was appointed as a lecturer and professor in Paediatric Dentistry at Universiti Malaya in 1993 and 2016, respectively. Since 2000, he has held various positions such as Head of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Deputy Dean Postgraduate, Principal of the Universiti Malaya Residential College, and Head of the Regenerative Dentistry Research Group, Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya. His publications have focused on his main area of research in paediatric dentistry and dental stem cells. As an academician, he also practices his specialty in paediatric dentistry at the faculty and the Universiti Malaya Specialist Centre. Professor Dr. Sabri Musa has been appointed as an external examiner in paediatric dentistry by various public and private dental universities. He has also been invited to deliver a speech and present papers at local and international conferences. He has also been appointed as a consultant for private companies due to his expertise in dental stem cells. Since 2015, he has served as a panel member for the Malaysian Qualifications Agency in the field of dentistry. He was recently appointed as a member for the Malaysian Dental Council. Outside of the classroom, Professor Dr. Sabri Musa is very active and has served as an advisor for student activities at the faculty and university levels. He has represented Universiti Malaya in athletics, tenpin bowling, and volleyball at the Malaysian Intervarsity Staff Games.

      Badrul Mohamed Jan, SPE is currently an associate professor attached to the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Malaya, Malaysia.  He holds a BS, MS and PhD degrees in petroleum engineering from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, USA. He spent almost 10 years in the US and he had the opportunity to work in aworld class research center, Petroleum Recovery Research Centre in New Mexico Tech. He joined the Department of Chemical Engineering, UM as lecturer in 2004.    The first project successfully executed is related to the use of Dolomite as alternative weighting agent to Barite in drilling fluids. The outcome of the research indicates a promising opportunity to use Dolomite instead of Barite in drilling fluids. Barite is toxic and expensive compared to dolomite, which can be acquired locally.   Dr. Jan first envisions is to develop and link any upstream oil and gas activity to his research. The major project that he accomplished was in the development of Super Light Weight Completion Fluid, (SLWCF) for 3M Asia Pacific. He managed to come out with a discreet formulation for new completion fluid with the use of glass bubbles from 3M. The formulated fluid has been tested in BKC 3 well at Bunga Raya field near Malaysia and Vietnam border. The field belongs to PETRONAS. The outcome of the field test showed nearly 1,000 barrels of additional oil could be produced daily if well is treated with SLWCF. The findings has been presented in SPE conference in Mexico and also published in the Journal of Drilling and Completion.   In addition Dr. Jan has also worked closely with BCI Chemical Sdn  Bhd, a local company mainly formulating and selling oil filed chemicals for various applications such as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Dr. Jan has successfully formulated a novel emulsifier, which is based on palm oil. About 15 ISI journal papers have published from the work.   Dr. Jan has also embarked in making use of industrial waste to improve production of hydrocarbon. In this effort, specific waste from industry has been characterized and extracted for its graphene content. Preliminary work and results indicates as much as 11% of graphene is able to be extracted. Current research is still on going to optimize the extraction process. In addition the extracted graphene will also be added into drilling fluid to investigate the rheological improvement resulting from the addition of the extracted graphene.   Dr Jan next research activities will mainly focus on the use of local dolomite in improving local water quality from a novel “Dolomite Water” system. This new niche area will open up new window of  opportunity for university research to be applied to industry and community.
