Renewable Energy

As the world faces the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce dependency on fossil fuels, our research in renewable energy focuses on accelerating the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy systems. By exploring innovative technologies such as solar, wind, and bioenergy, we aim to support global efforts in building a low-carbon future.

We bring together academia, industry, and policy leaders to develop scalable solutions in energy generation, distribution, and storage, while actively working to reduce carbon footprints. Our research addresses the pressing energy challenges of the Asian region with a focus on inclusivity, efficiency, and environmental responsibility — ensuring that clean energy is not just a global aspiration, but a practical reality for all.

Health and Wellbeing

With rising global health challenges and an ageing population, advancing medical research and healthcare innovation is more important than ever. Our work in this area addresses physical, mental, and societal health through interdisciplinary approaches—improving treatments, enhancing health systems, and promoting overall wellbeing.

We integrate world-class expertise in medical image analysis, therapeutic discovery, precision medicine, and medical technologies with groundbreaking work in mental health, ageing, cognition, and social wellbeing. By bridging scientific innovation with human-centred solutions, we aim to improve quality of life across Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

Food Resilience

In the face of climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, ensuring access to safe and nutritious food is a global priority. Our research tackles these challenges by developing resilient agricultural systems, sustainable food technologies, and innovative practices to strengthen local and global food security — from sustainable agriculture, smart farming technologies, and alternative proteins to food safety, nutrition, and consumer behaviour. By uniting science, technology, and cultural understanding, we address the region’s most pressing food security challenges, ensuring that future generations have access to nutritious, affordable, and sustainable food.

Water Security

Water is a fundamental resource under increasing pressure from urbanisation, pollution, and climate-related stress. Our research seeks to develop sustainable and integrated water management solutions that ensure reliable access to clean water, protect ecosystems, and support resilient communities.

By combining cutting-edge science with policy influence and community engagement, we deliver sustainable, equitable solutions that strengthen water resilience across Southeast Asia and beyond.
