Dr. Mohd Syamsul Nasyriq Samsol Baharin Institute of Nano Optoelectronics Research and Technology (INOR), USM He is one of the diamond and carbon related materials community, where he has been involved in the research of nano-electronics and power-electronics, developing carbon-based material devices including diamond for nanodevices, biosensors and power field effect transistors. He is now a Senior Lecturer of Institute of Nano Optoelectronics Research and Technology (INOR), at Universiti Sains Malaysia. He received international invitations for his work as an invited speaker for 13th New Diamond and Nano Carbon Conference (NDNC 2019), Taiwan and European Materials Research Fall Meeting (E-MRS 2018), Warszawa, Poland. He was formerly a Postdoctoral Researcher Japan (2017-2018) and Doctoral student (2014-2017) in Waseda University,Japan involved diamond and its possibilities as power devices. Recognized as the world record holder of highest breakdown voltage capability via the mechanical grade black polycrystalline diamond, which is cost effective and suited for mass productions and demonstrated the reliabilities of the polycrystalline diamond as power devices. This was highlighted in Semiconductor Today Highlights (UK) “Black polycrystalline diamond transistors with high breakdown.” 25 November 2016. Beforehand he was a Researcher at SIRIM Berhad (2010-2014), under the department of Industrial CI-Nanotechnology. Speech Title: Power Devices: State-of-the-art and future prospects |

Dr. Mohd Hafiz bin Mohd Zaid Dr. Mohd Hafiz bin Mohd Zaid was born in Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia. He received his secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia. In 2005, he furthered his study at Perak Matriculation Collage and then gains his first degree in Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics during 2009 at Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor. Then, he graduated PhD in field of Materials Science at Universiti Putra Malaysia under supervision of Assoc. prof. Dr. Khamirul Amin Matori in the year of 2016. Although still new in academic and research career, practically already have been involved significantly in international research with the top researcher such as R. El-Mallawany (Egypt), M.I. Sayyed (Saudi), H.O. Tekin (Turkey), X. Xue (China) and others in glass and ceramics field. He also have managed to publish more than 100 ISI journals with high-impact factors and with a total of 1039 citations based on the Scopus, and thus those publications can be pertinently regarded as internationally recognized research work. Currently, he have been contact and approved by Top glove advisor board as research advisor for glass former project and by Saudi Geological Survey (SGS), Saudi for international research collaboration, whereby the research plan that will be conducted is on fabrication and synthesis of low-cost ceramic tiles from waste materials. Speech Title: The Bright Future of Glass-ceramic Research from Waste Materials |
