Biography

I worked briefly as a contract researcher for Institute for Medical Research (Kuala Lumpur) from 2006-2008. I completed my MSc in Industrial Chemistry from Universiti Malaysia Pahang in 2012. My teaching career started with Curtin University Sarawak from 2009 to 2016. Currently I'm working with University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus as a foundation chemistry lecturer.

Expertise Summary

My research interest predominantly focus on natural products drug discovery. I hope I can contribute my expertise in plant drugs discovery which includes natural products isolation, bioactivity assessment and chemical structure elucidation. My MSc works had provided some insights about antidiabetic properties of Borapetol B, a clerodane diterpene compound. I wish I can extend the investigation by focusing on how clerodane diterpenes' insulin inducing mechanism takes place in pancreatic beta cell.

Teaching Summary

I am keen on exploring the impact of AI in education, particularly in enhancing personalized learning and adaptive teaching strategies. With the aid of Microsoft Copilot, I am currently developing a… read more

I am keen on exploring the impact of AI in education, particularly in enhancing personalized learning and adaptive teaching strategies. With the aid of Microsoft Copilot, I am currently developing a flashcard game to aid students in mastering organic structure naming skill. Another initiative I am currently working on is the peer-assisted station rotation model, conceived to foster student-based collaborative learning in problem solving. These plans constitute the rich backdrop of my teaching development for the next 3-5 years.
