Senior Lecturer · FTSM, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
Teaching and researching at the convergence of artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and interactive systems — designing systems that adapt, optimize and create, not just compute.
A research program built on one question.
My academic journey has been shaped by a single guiding question — how can we design intelligent systems that adapt, optimize and create, not just compute? It runs through everything from generative AI and evolutionary computing to expert systems and games informatics.
I am a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FTSM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, where I teach and conduct research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and interactive systems.
At UKM I am committed to nurturing the next generation of AI researchers across Malaysia and the region — supervising postgraduate students working on metaheuristic optimization, simulation modelling and applied generative AI.
/ core competencies
What I work with.
Computational Intelligence
Evolutionary and immune algorithms, particle-swarm optimization and multi-objective metaheuristics.
Games Informatics & Engagement
Game refinement theory, the “motion in mind” model, procedural content and serious games.
Computational Optimization
Combinatorial optimization, scheduling, assembly-line balancing and AutoML.
Generative & Agentic AI
Generative models, LLM applications, agentic content generation and knowledge-based expert systems.
Simulation & Modelling
Agent-based simulation, crowd dynamics and Monte-Carlo methods.
Technical Stack
Python, PyTorch, MATLAB, Unity, R and LaTeX.
Let's build something intelligent.
Postgraduate supervision, research collaboration and conference invitations are always welcome.
