By working together, we are not only exploring solutions for today's energy challenges but also helping to shape a sustainable future. The diverse range of research projects funded through this collaboration speaks to the strength and innovation of our academic community. I am confident that the outcomes of these initiatives will contribute to the betterment of society, both locally and globally," stated Professor Dato' Dr Faisal Rafiq Bin Mahamd Adikan, Vice President (Research & Development) at Monash University Malaysia.
