Dr. Muhammad Faisal Khyasudeen is an expert in ultrafast femtosecond laser spectroscopy, with over a decade of experience in the field. He earned his Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, under the mentorship of Prof. Tan Howe Siang at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS). During his doctoral research, he developed and optimized ultrafast transient absorption and multidimensional optical spectroscopy experiments, focusing on the study of chlorophylls and light-harvesting complexes (LHC) systems. His findings have been published in several respected peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Faisal has strong expertise in ultrafast laser systems, including Ti:Sapphire amplifiers and Non-collinear Optical Parametric Amplifiers (NOPAs) for generating ultrashort laser pulses. Currently, he is a senior lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Malaya (UM), where he also coordinates ultrafast laser research activities in the High Impact Research (HIR) building. He is now venturing into a new research field on multi-resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) compounds using ultrafast spectroscopy techniques.  

Ahmad Syafiq Amir Abdullah Zawawi, Ph.D. is a junior linguist with expertise in Theoretical Linguistics, particularly within the Minimalist Syntax. I earned my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Linguistics from The National University of Malaysia (UKM), focusing on syntactic structures in Malay existential, possessive, and copular constructions. My academic journey also includes a Master of Arts in Malay Language from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and a First-Class Bachelor Degree in Teaching from the Institute of Teacher Education Malaysia (IPGM). I am an active researcher and author, with multiple publications in SCOPUS and WOS-indexed journals. My research primarily addresses minimalist syntactic theories, exploring constructs such as verb constraints in the Malay language and Austronesian languages. Additionally, I have presented my work at numerous national and international conferences. Adept in utilizing modern educational technologies and tools, I am proficient in corpus linguistics tools such as Wordsmith and AntConc. My linguistic skills span both Malay and English, complemented by a strong commitment to innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning. I remains passionate about advancing the field of linguistics and contributing to the academic and educational landscape through expertise, leadership, and research contributions.
