Prof. Dr. Noriah Bidin graduated from UKM with Honest degree in 1981, received her M.Sc. from Loughbrough University of Technology (LUT), UK, in 1986 and completed her Ph.D. degree from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Skudai in 1995. She has promoted as an associate professor in 1996 and full professor VK07 immediately after serving for faculty of Science in 2008. She is a head department of physics in faculty of Science from 2008 to 2010. Currently she is a director of advance photonic Science Institute APSI since August 2014. Her field of interests is laser in physics and engineering. She has supervised more than 30 PhD and 49 MSc students. She is a panel evaluator for fundamental research grant scheme FRGS and RACE at Ministry of Education Malaysia, level besides being an evaluator panel in the university level. As a Professor in physics, she has invited as reviewer for more than 20 different types of international journals and also editor for original book and book chapters at the same time. Being as invited speaker and keynote speaker for more than 20 times at local and international level. She is having accumulative research grant worth more than 2.5 million from research university grant RUG and from Malaysia government. She has successfully secured 9 patents failing, obtained 9 golds, 7 silvers and 10 bronze medals from exhibition competition at local and international level. She has been awarded as the best inventor for her invention of Miniaturize of Laser Kit at INATEX 2013. She has received more than seven times excellent services at Faculty of University level. Until now, she already published 5 original books, published more than 80 articles at index and non-index journal with accumulative impact factor more than 40. Her current research which is still in exploration stage is laser therapy in cancer treatment collaboration work from bioscience and medical engineering involving three discipline including biology, nanoparticles and laser therapy.

Laser engraving, which is a subset of laser marking, is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. Laser marking, on the other hand, is a broader category of methods to leave marks on an object, which also includes color change due to chemical/molecular alteration, charring, foaming, melting, ablation, melting, and more. The technique does not involve the use of inks, nor does it involve tool bits which contact the engraving surface and wear out. These properties distinguish laser engraving from alternative engraving or marking technologies where inks or bit heads have to be replaced regularly.
