Director Message
Bismillahirahmanirahim,
In the name of Allah, the Almighty.
It is a privilege to serve as the Director of the Ibnu Sina Institute for Scientific and Industrial Research (ISI-SIR), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Guided by our vision and mission, we will strengthen a research culture that is rigorous, collaborative, and future-facing, anchored in frontier mathematics, science, and applied science, while staying publicly engaged and financially sustainable.
With six Research Centres covering sustainable nanomaterials, laser technologies, industrial and applied mathematics, lipid engineering, big data, and fiqh–science technology integration, ISI-SIR will sharpen its focus on transdisciplinary research that delivers clear societal outcomes, stronger high-impact partnerships with effective translation, and talent development through postgraduate excellence, consultancy, and training
I invite researchers, industry partners, agencies, and communities to build with us, where ISI-SIR becomes not only a place where discoveries are made, but where solutions are delivered.

Knowledge does its best work when it moves—across disciplines, across sectors, and into real decisions that improve lives. ISI-SIR was built for that movement: turning frontier science into value for industry, society, and the nation.
