Ir. Dr Mohd Shukry Abdul Majid is an Associate Professor at School of Mechatronic Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis. He received his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from University Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 2001. Upon his return to Malaysia, he worked as a research and development (R&D) engineer at a semiconductor industry before joining Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) as a lecturer in 2004. He completed his M.Sc. in Mechanical Systems Engineering from the University of Liverpool in 2005 and his PhD in Composite Engineering from Newcastle University, United Kingdom in 2011. An advocate of interdisciplinary research, his research interests are composite piping, looking at the performance of composite structures, NDE's of composites and natural fibre/green composites, hybrid reinforced/filled polymer composites, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymer and biodegradable composites. He has authored 149 Scopus indexed publications with 32 publications in ISI-ranked Journals. Ir. Dr Mohd Shukry has been honoured with numerous local and international awards for his achievements including ITEX, MTE and PECIPTA, and is the first recipient from Technical University Network (MTUN) to have been awarded Malaysia’s Research Star Award 2017, as one of Malaysia’s most promising and influential researchers by the Ministry of High Education Malaysia (MOHE).

Dr. Azwan Iskandar Azmi is currently working as a senior lecturer at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), Malaysia. He received his bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, USA and Master’s in Advanced Manufacturing Technology from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. He completed his doctoral study at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in Mechanical Engineering in 2012 and has more than 10 years of experience in teaching, research, and industries. His area of research interests includes machining and machinability of carbon, glass, and their hybrid composites, as well as difficult-to-cut metal alloys such as titanium, Inconel, and nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys. So far, he has more than 100 research articles in renowned international journals, proceedings and review papers, and serves as a reviewer for several reputable high impact ISI journals and international conferences

Dr. Naheed Saba is currently affiliated with the Laboratory of Biocomposite Technology in Universiti Putra Malaysia. She completed her PhD in Biocomposites Technology from Institute of Tropical Forestry and Forest Products (INTROP), Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia in 2017. She completed Master in Chemistry and also completed Post graduate Diploma in Environment and Sustainable development from India. She has published over 40 scientific and engineering articles on advanced composites, edited six book and published more than 20 book chapters. Her research interest areas are nanocellulosic materials, fire retardant materials, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites, biocomposites, hybrid composites, and nanocomposites. She is the recipient of the International Graduate Research Fellowship, UPM and a reviewer for several international journals such as Cellulose, Constructions and Building Materials, Journal of Materials Research & Technology, BioResources, Carbohydrate Polymers, among others.
