Biography:
Over 70 per cent of machinery parts and load-bearing components undergo premature failure. With so many lives on the line daily – people in cars, in aircrafts and in hospitals – reliability of mechanical devices is of the utmost importance. For Ahmad Varvani-Farahani, failure is not an option. Following the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, Varvani was motivated to advance the reliability of machines and space vehicles through his education in mechanical engineering.
Today, he is ambitious to upgrade quality of life in society through design of risk-free and durable devices. Varvani’s focus is to broadly develop models and theories on damage assessment and failure of materials. This ensures performance and structural integrity of vehicles, airplanes and diagnostic health-care equipment, making society safer today than it was yesterday. Research outcomes and innovative ideas developed within his group have helped to solve several challenging engineering problems and benefited society and industry with durable parts and structures. “We assess the magnitude of damage caused by dynamic loads in automotive, aviation and medical fields. That’s how we protect lives.”

Biography:
Professor Dr. Zainuriah Hassan, FASc area of expertise is wide band gap semiconductors and devices. In 1979, she was awarded the Gold Medal by the Sultan of Kedah for the best performance in the Malaysia Certificate of Education examination. She received the B.Sc (Magna Cum Laude) degree and the Master’s degree in Physics from Western Michigan University, USA in 1983 and 1985, respectively, and the Ph.D degree in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics from Ohio University, USA in 1998, and was a Research Associate there from 1997 to 1998. She started her Ph.D work at Ohio University in 1994, and in 1996, they were successful in getting a research grant of USD 2 million. During her studies at Ohio University, she was an important member of the wide band gap semiconductor effort. She pioneered many of the scientific advances that would be the center of the nitride work at Ohio University. She was instrumental in the installation and operation of the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactor; and she was the first to grow GaN and AlN at Ohio University. She started her work as a Lecturer at the School of Physics, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in September 1998. She was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2004, Associate Professor in 2007, and Full Professor, VK7, VK6 and VK5 (Special Grade A) in 2009, 2015 and 2020, respectively. She is currently an Honorary Professor at the Institute of Nano Optoelectronics Research and Technology (INOR), USM and was the Director of INOR in 2016 and 2018-2021. She is also currently an Honorary Adjunct Faculty at Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria. She was also formerly the Director of the Centre for Research Initiatives in Natural Sciences (2013-2015), Dean (2010-2012), Deputy Dean-Academic and Student Development (2009-2010), and Chair of the Engineering Physics Program (2007-2009) at the School of Physics, USM. She was a Visiting Research Scholar under the Fulbright Program at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Minnesota, USA in 2004/2005. At USM, she very quickly built a funded, high-impact research program in nitride semiconductors. She obtained a grant worth RM 11 million (~USD 3 million) in 2002, awarded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) under the IRPA RMK8 Strategic Research for work on fabrication of III-nitrides and organic materials for blue light emitting device applications. With that grant, her team successfully set up an advanced laboratory named NOR for Nano-Optolectronics Research and Technology at the School of Physics, USM. Now the NOR laboratory has received accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Research, a status awarded to the Institute of Nano Optoelectronics Research and Technology (INOR) by the Ministry of Education in 2015. Her focus of research is in the field of Materials Science and Device Physics, in particular advanced semiconductor technology. She works on all aspects related to nano and advanced materials growth, characterization, and fabrication of optoelectronic and electronic devices such as LEDs, sensors and solar cells based on III-nitrides (GaN, InN, AlN, and related nitride alloys) and also other wide band gap semiconductors such as ZnO, CdS, TiO2, CdO and other metal oxides. She is also working on porous and hybrid heterostructures for device applications. She has been a pioneer researcher in Malaysia on work related to GaN-based (III-nitrides) materials and devices. She has been involved as the Project Leader at USM for the national project (GaN on GaN) which is funded by Malaysian government through Economic Planning Unit (EPU) with total funding of RM 75 million (~USD 18 million) for 5 years (2015-2020). She was also the Project Leader for a grant of RM 2 million (~USD 0.5 million), entitled “Energy Efficient Lighting” under the Long Term Research Grant (LRGS) Special Focused Industry Driven Program, entitled “Wide Band gap Semiconductor” which is funded by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). She was also the main and co-researcher for more than 80 other national and international research grants. She has supervised more than 100 PhD and MSc students. She has produced more than 700 ISI/Scopus publications to date, with h-index of 44 in Scopus, 43 in Web of Science ResearcherID and 50 in Google Scholar. She has been listed in the Top 2% in the World in the Category of Citation Impact in Single Year 2020. She has also been identified as the Top Author (No. 1), by number of publications in Malaysia and USM over the period 2013-2017 in the field of Materials Science, from a document prepared by Solutions Consultant, Elsevier Singapore. She has also been featured by Thomson Reuters as one of the Accomplished USM Researchers on ResearcherID as well as received the recognition as Top Research Scientist Malaysia (TRSM) in 2013 and elected as a Fellow of Academy of Sciences Malaysia in 2016.
