Beschreibung

This proceeding book reflects the overarching theme of envisioning the future of research collaboration and knowledge exchange between Malaysia and Japan. The Malaysia-Japan Visionaries Conference 2024 which was held at The University of Tokyo in 2024 curates a collection of high-quality papers and posters, showcasing the latest research findings across a spectrum of disciplines. This compilation stems from the diverse fields of arts and sciences, with a particular focus on social science, business and economy, law, medicine, science and technology, engineering, and technology. The papers and posters featured in this proceeding serve as a valuable resource, offering a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research results presented at the conference. Geared toward researchers, industry sectors, and government policymakers, this compilation not only contributes to the academic discourse but also provides practical insights that can influence decision-making and strategic planning. With a specific emphasis on the collaborative efforts between Malaysia and Japan, these proceedings aim to foster a deeper understanding of shared research interests and promote knowledge exchange between the two nations. Beyond the bilateral scope, the research findings contained herein also hold relevance for the global community, offering insights that transcend geographical boundaries and benefit a wider audience. In essence, this proceedings publication stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Malaysia-Japan Visionaries Conference 2024, contributing to advancing research, innovation, and informed decision-making on both regional and international levels.

Autor

Amy Poh Ai Ling, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary researcher known for her pioneering work on digital technology security in electrical systems since 2010. She holds two Ph.D. degrees and uniquely received Student Role Model Awards at every academic level (B.B.A., M.Sc., Ph.D.), reflecting her broad expertise in economic management, mathematical sciences, and engineering. Bridging academia and industry, Amy brings cross-sectoral insights in business development, the circular economy, safety engineering, data processing, and statistical modeling. Her honors include the Rescale Honorable Mention Award (USA), the Edison Award (Malaysia), national science recognitions from Japan and Malaysia, and seven academic scholarships. She is the Founder and Director of the Malaysia-Japan Academic Association and Chair of MJVC2024. In 2023, she was named a "Rising Star" at the Asian Deans' Forum for her research excellence and leadership. Huong Kai Hee, Ph.D., is a scientist specializing in harnessing microorganisms as cell factories to produce biochemicals and biopolymers. He earned his PhD from Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2017 and has over six years of post-PhD academic and industrial research experience in Malaysia, Japan, and Singapore. His research integrates applied microbiology, biochemistry, metabolic engineering, and bioprocess technology to engineer and enhance the bioproduction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) – microbially made, fully biodegradable polyesters derived from renewable resources. He is particularly interested in applying synthetic biology and green chemistry to advance sustainable bioproduction and support the circular bioeconomy. His work has been supported by the Toray Science Foundation (2013) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science through the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship (2021–2022). Fitriah Azizan, Ph.D., is an environmental researcher specialising in functional ecology, soil biodiversity, and carbon–nitrogen (C–N) dynamics in wetland ecosystems. She obtained her Ph.D. from Meiji University, Japan, where her research examined the role of soil microbial communities in regulating C–N processes and how land-use change and climate drivers influence ecosystem functions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in the conversion of tropical peat swamp forests to agricultural lands. With a background in soil C–N biogeochemistry, she integrates field measurements with molecular analysis during her postdoctoral research at Meiji University to investigate soil microbial responses to alternative irrigation (wet–dry–wet) systems in Japanese paddy fields, with a particular focus on GHG emissions. In parallel, she expanded her expertise in molecular techniques to develop a transgenesis protocol for Bursaphelenchus okinawaensis, a genetically tractable model for plant-parasitic nematodes.
