Yap Yung Szen<\/h1>\n

Senior Lecturer, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Yap Yung Szen, from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), has become a central figure in Malaysia\u2019s quantum ecosystem. As one of the founding members of the Malaysia Quantum Information Initiative (MyQI), he advises government ministries and agencies, delivering on average two talks every month across academic institutions, government bodies, and conferences on Quantum Technology throughout Malaysia and Asia.<\/p>\n

Since 2024, Yap has engaged with key Malaysian entities, including the Ministry of Digital, the Ministry of Higher Education, the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, and multiple national bodies with respect to quantum science and technology, such as the establishment of Malaysia Quantum Valley in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). He is also one of the key figures in organizing the ASEAN Quantum Summit 2025, spreading awareness of quantum in the region.<\/p>\n

Yap\u2019s work has been instrumental in raising national awareness of quantum technologies and building connections between research, policy, and industry. His efforts in coordinating Malaysia\u2019s quantum community and policy and facilitating regional collaborations have all contributed to the country\u2019s quantum initiatives and positioned Malaysia in the global quantum ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Alhamdulillah. It is my responsibility becoming a new director of Centre for Sustainable\u00a0Nanomaterials, or it is well-known as CSNano. My education background is chemistry (BSc\u00a0(Industrial Chemistry), MSc (Chemistry), PhD (Chemistry)) and all of my tertiary level of\u00a0educations are from Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. My main affiliate is\u00a0Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Science, UTM and because of this, my research\u00a0expertise is applied materials science for biological and medical areas. I am professional\u00a0chemist (ChM) under Malaysian Institute of Chemistry and Chartered Chemist (CChem)\u00a0under Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), UK. Being a director for CSNano, my main aim for\u00a0this centre is to lead a re-known centre for research and development in sustainable\u00a0nanomaterials area nationally and globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

CSNano is under Ibnu Sina Institute for Scientific and Industrial Research (ISI-SIR), UTM\u00a0and the mission is to grow into a centre-of-excellence for conducting advanced research,\u00a0development, and demonstration of fundamental and applied science research in materials\u00a0sciences for the global impact. Our main R&D is focusing on sustainable nanomaterials <\/span>where the development of nanomaterials are based on sustainable approaches and also, the\u00a0sustainable application of nanomaterials. The research areas in CSNano includes but not\u00a0limited to heterogeneous catalysts, porous nanomaterials, supramolecular functional nanomaterials, nano\/molecular photochemistry, biomaterials, green biosynthesis\u00a0nanoparticles, semiconductor nanostructures, analytical science, separation chemistry,\u00a0organometallic chemistry, physics of low dimensional structure, quantum chemistry and\u00a0Fussy modelling. Beside R&D, our aim include dissemination of knowledge related to\u00a0nanotechnology, nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nanocomposite etc. and their application in\u00a0various fields. CSNano will grab possible opportunities and works together in various\u00a0partnership in enhancing our fields and fostering the growth of nanomaterials at national\u00a0levels as well as international levels.<\/span><\/p>\n
