On March 28, 2017, three professors from University of Malaya visited BEBC. Accompanied by Ph.D student Hao Liu, they have seen several labs of BEBC, having a deeper understanding of our research projects. Ph.D student Yan Gong and Minli You introduced the POC and the rare-earth nanomaterial labs to them in detail. Hope we can have more exchanges and cooperation in the future.

Prof. Dr. Ramesh Singh, Senior Professor & Deputy Dean (Research), Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya. B. Eng. (UK), Ph.D (UK), P. Eng., CEng. (UK), CPEng. (Aust), FIMechE (UK), FIEAust, FIEM, FIMM, FMSA.

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. He has published more than 300 research articles in various ISI/WoS- and Scopus-listed publications and his research group has secured more than RM15 million of research funding for numerous projects relating to materials development, advanced manufacturing and machining. He was the recipient of the prestigious IEM Young Engineer Award, MTSF Science & Technology Award 2014 and won more than 55 awards at international/national exhibitions pertaining to his research and inventions. He was recognized as the top 12 "Malaysia Engineer Stars" by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia for his notable contribution in the field of engineering education and advancement in ceramics engineering in the country.

Prof. Ir. Dr. Noor Azuan Abu Osman, Dean of Engineering, Deputy Director of Centre for Applied Biomechanics and Coordinator of Motion Analysis Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya. C.Eng., FIMechE, C.PEng., FIEAust, C.Sci., MICR.

Prof. Ir. Dr. Noor Azuan Abu Osman graduated from University of Bradford, UK with a B.Eng. Hons. in Mechanical Engineering, followed by MSc. and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom. Azuan’s research interests are quite wide-ranging under the general umbrella of biomechanics. However, his main interests are the measurements of human movement, prosthetics design, the development of instrumentation for forces and joint motion, and the design of prosthetics, orthotics and orthopedic implant. In 2004, he received BLESMA award from ISPO UK NMS in recognition of his significant contribution to the development of the prosthetic socket. He is currently deputy president of Society of Medical and Biological Engineering (MSMBE).

Associate Prof. Belinda Pingguan-Murphy, Department of Biomedical, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, expertise in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, and Cell Biology.
