Biography

I was born in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia, in 1986. I received my Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering degree from Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) in April of 2009. In May 2009, I have joined UNITEN for a Master in Mechanical Engineering (MME) degree and worked on microscale heat transfer under Ir. Dr. Norshah Hafeez Shuaib. I have conducted research during my graduate studies on both microchannel heat sink and nanofluids. After my graduation, I begin my career with UNITEN as a Lecturer at the mechanical engineering department, college of engineering and wish to pursue Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) study in mechanical engineering. I have been worked at Intel Technology Sdn. Bhd manufacturing company as a test engineer. I’m teaching Mechanic of Fluids, Thermofluids Laboratory, Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems and Mechanical Design Process to undergraduate students. I’ m a graduate member of Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), and Institution of Mechanical Engineers (ImechE). I have published 11 international and national research papers and one book chapter in area of heat transfer and nanofluids.

Research Interest

Fundamental study on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in a compact heat exchanger, Experimental hydrodynamic study of microchannel heat sink by means of quantitative flow visualization technique, Numerical and experimental study of heat transfer and liquid flow in microchannel heat sink. Experimental and numerical investigation on the laminar-turbulent flow transition and heat transfer of nanofluids in microchannels, Inverse heat transfer problem formulation in composite material delamination detection
