School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
College of Engineering and Information Technology
I am a Doctoral Researcher in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at Adelaide University. My expertise lies in thermo-mechanical modeling, advanced manufacturing processes, and biomedical engineering applications. I completed my Master of Science (Mechanical Engineering) by Research at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Malaysia, where my thesis focused on the experimental investigation of heat elevation during bone drilling for implant site preparation. Following the completion of my master’s degree, I joined UniMAP as a Research Officer, further strengthening my experience in experimental and computational research. I also earned my Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution.
My research integrates experimental mechanics, finite element modeling, process optimization, and data-driven approaches to enhance surgical safety and manufacturing precision. I have published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals including Heliyon, Applied Sciences, and Metals, with several Q1 and Q2 indexed publications. In addition to journal articles, I have presented my work at international conferences and have ongoing manuscripts under review in reputable journals.
I actively contribute to the academic community as a peer reviewer for journals under the Nature Portfolio (including Scientific Reports), European Spine Journal, Biomedical Materials & Devices, BMC Oral Health, and iScience, as well as several international conferences. These roles reflect my commitment to rigorous scientific standards and high-quality research dissemination.
Technically, I am proficient in advanced modeling and simulation tools including ANSYS, Abaqus, DEFORM 3D, CATIA V5, and SolidWorks. I have programming experience in Python and C, along with strong expertise in statistical analysis and design-of-experiments software such as Design Expert, Minitab, SPSS, OriginPro, and Microsoft Excel.
Beyond academic research, I have contributed to grant writing and industrial consultancy projects through the Motorsport Technology Research Unit (MOTECH), participating in a successfully funded national-level project. I also hold three registered copyrights related to biomechanical modeling and drill bit geometric design for thermal osteonecrosis studies.
My current research focuses on advanced additive manufacturing, particularly in process modeling, residual stress prediction, surface integrity assessment, and the integration of finite element methods with machine learning techniques to develop intelligent and predictive manufacturing systems.
I am a registered Engineering Technologist and Graduate Engineer with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), an Associate Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and a Student Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
