Professional Affiliations

1. Member of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society.
2. Member of the Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning Research Group, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Research Interests

3D modelling using images and photogrammetric techniques (using colour, NIR, ultraviolet wave-band and still, video and high-speed cameras),
Information databases design and data capture(Craniofacial database, virtual museum)
Application: human movement, sport injury, accident and crime scene mapping,human gait and limb 3D modelling.
I am seeking self-funded or scholarship postgraduates for research in the following areas:
1. Modelling of the foot plantar (skin and tissue) stress during gait or running.
2. Modelling shoes insole based on accurate 3D plantar surface spatial data and force plate ground reaction force (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz)of gait cycle
3. Health-related GIS modelling such as the spread of communicable diseases and the development of early warning system.
