He has published four books and is the co-editor for ongoing Elsevier-edited books: 1) Nanomaterials for Carbon Capture and Conversion Technique, 2) Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Bioelectrochemical Systems, 3). Water Treatment Using Engineered Carbon Nanotubes and 4) Emerging Water Pollutants: Concerns and Remediation Technologies.                            Dr. Mahmood Anwar is a senior lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Curtin University, Sarawak Campus, Malaysia. Prior to join academic position, he was a research scientist in Hitachi CFP PTE, Singapore, and involved as a lead scientist for high-voltage component research and corrosion protection projects.  Currently, he is leading nanomaterials research for developing corrosion resistive high-voltage conductor. He is also the technical advisor of several palm oil industries for acoustic material design.  Recently, he has been invited to join Coating Standard Development with IMM Coating Fingerprint Taskforce for Oil & Gas Industry. He is also a professional certified coating quality controller for Oil & Gas Industry. Currently, he is serving as a member in Committee for Standard Development on Nanotechnology, Advanced Ceramics and Metallic & Inorganic Coatings Division of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). He has published more than 23 research papers up to date including journals and international conferences. He is holding one Malaysian patent which is under filingprocess. He is very active in industrial research and academic accreditation works, serving as an auditor for numerous academic programme. Due to his industrial research contribution, he has been awarded Fellow of Institute of Materials, Malaysia. He has been also awarded prestigious Fellow of Higher Education Academy (UK) due to his contribution to Engineering Education. Dr. Sujan (C.Eng. MIMechE, FHEA) is an associate professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Curtin University Malaysia. He had served as the HOD of Mechanical Engineering from October 2014 to December 2017 in Curtin Malaysia. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Science Malaysia in 2006 majoring applied mechanics and heat transfer with specific research focuses on interfacial thermal mismatch stress analysis in electronic packaging. Over the years, he has been working in the areas of thermal management in electronic packaging, green composite materials using bio-waste, nanopolymer composites and nano-enhanced MQL machining. He has more than 100 publications in reputable international journals and conference proceedings. He is a chartered engineer (C.Eng. MIMechE) and a fellow of Advance Higher Learning (HEA), UK. He is a registered level 1 supervisor in Curtin University, Australia, for doctoral and master thesis. Prof. Dr. Izman is one of the country’s leading figures in biomanufacturing engineering research. He set up the Medical Devices & Technology Group (MEDITEG) in 2006, and within a span of six years, the group that he pioneered secured 60 research projects with a total grant close to RM1 million. He has published over 70 papers internationally refereed indexed journals with a cumulative impact factor of 222.025. For academic teaching, he developed and taught four new courses: biomechanics, biomedical materials, biomedical engineering design, and tissue engineering. Other courses that he taught include materials science, advanced materials, materials technology, engineering drawing, and experimental techniques. He has successfully supervised 21 Ph.D. and 32 master’s degree students. He has three patents (one granted, two under filing process).
