In the name of Allah, the Almighty.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
With six Research Centres covering sustainable nanomaterials, laser technologies, industrial and applied mathematics, lipid engineering, big data, and fiqh\u2013science 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<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
