Here is my story.

I am a researcher and I also teach undergraduate and postgraduate students at a local university. Currently I am on secondment at Jabatan Pendidikan Tinggi, Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi in Putrajaya.

And these are some of the photos of me in my elements, doing what I love the most.

After receiving my B.Eng. in Manufacturing Engineering, I have gained more than 12 years of experience working in an academic institution, primarily focusing on robotics and automation. I am also an active advocate to promote robotics technology to the society. Recently I organized the ‘FKP Robotics Open Day 2017’, which included robotic competitions and exhibitions for kindergarten, primary school and university students.

My greatest achievement was when I pioneered a new methodology in human-robot interaction (HRI) where a humanoid robot is used for the rehabilitation of children with autism at the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) in Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur. Many outstanding achievements have been produced throughout this project. This includes my accomplishment of being awarded full scholarship for the Summer School on Social Human-robot Interaction in August 2013 at Cambridge University, United Kingdom. Here I was the only representative from Malaysia, hence the nation’s ambassador in this world-class event. Through the same project, I received a gold medal during the Invention, Innovation and Design Exposition (iidex2015) in Universiti Teknologi MARA with the project title: ‘Clinical application of humanoid robots for children with disabilities’. I also won the first prize in the UiTM Three Minute Thesis competition (UiTM 3MT 2015) in the Engineering/Science Technology category with my presentation titled ‘Robots and Autism’.

What is a hooding ceremony?

I have always been intrigued by this event called 'the hooding ceremony' since I began my student life in UiTM about 3 years ago. This term always come to my attention and 'pops out' during the UiTM convocation ceremony. Yesterday I saw a post on the hooding ceremony (again) when my other half was browsing through IPSis UiTM's FB page. IPSis wrote that 52 PhD graduates had successfully completed their studies in UiTM and will receive their scroll in the 81st convocation ceremony.

It is simply a ceremony held for students graduating with a master’s or PhD degree. The placing of the hood signifies the passage from student to 'master's' or ‘PhD'. The hooding ceremony and recognition of students’ accomplishments draw attention to the scholarly and the personal achievements of the candidates for g...

UiTM 104th HOODING CEREMONY FOR THE PhD GRADUATES ON 5TH MAY 2026

Assalamualaikum wbth and good day Hello everyone :) About ten years ago, I wrote about the hooding ceremony for UiTM’s PhD graduands. At that time, I shared my thoughts on how meaningful this ceremony was, not only for the students but also for the supervisors who had walked alongside them throughout their doctoral journey. The Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition ceremony for doctoral degree students. During the ceremony, the supervisors and their students are invited on stage for a photo session, symbolising the successful completion of the PhD journey. It is a simple yet deeply meaningful moment, as it reflects years of hard work, perseverance, sacrifice and academic growth. This year, I felt truly honoured and proud to be part of the hooding ceremony for my PhD student, Dr. Muhammad Aliff Rosly . Although I served as his co-supervisor, the joy I felt was no less meaningful. Seeing a student complete a PhD is always a special experience. It reminds us that supervision is not on...
