Prior to teaching, Muhammad Rashid Shamsuddin worked in various engineering industries in the Middle East, Malaysia and New Zealand in 1) O&G specializing in pipeline construction, pressure testing and flushing as well as waste water treatment 2) Plant design, construction, M&E installation and commissioning 3) RnD in biomaterials and waste conversion technology and 4) Production and optimization process in timber industry.He graduated with a PhD degree in Materials and Processing from theUniversity of Waikato, New Zealand. His PhD research focused onrecovering protein from abattoir waste water using clay adsorption. Novelty of this work lies on the dual purpose of the process where clay surface modification and waste water treatment can be done simultaneously. The modified clay was successfully utilized as a reinforcement material in bio- based polymer while the waste water required less treatment prior to disposal. The research provides an avenue for abattoir plants to save coston the waste water treatment and produce a value-added product from what is essentially a waste.As an academic, he currently involves actively in lecturing and RnD inChemical Engineering Department. His teaching subjects include Thermodynamics, Materials Science & Engineering, Environmental Chemical Engineering, Energy & Plant Utilities System, HSE and Workplace Safety in Malaysia. His active consultancy and research project include biogas and biofertilizer from waste sources, composting Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) waste of palm oil into high value fertilizer, geopolymer as green material and synthesis of various adsorbents for waste water treatment.

Dr Shafirah previously earned her first degree from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia in the field of Chemical Engineering and PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2016 from the same university. Currently, she is working as a senior lecturer in Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. In this university, she is teaching Undergraduate and Master’s student in many courses such as Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Modeling and Organic Chemistry and doing a research with colleagues and students. Her research interest is in the area of crystallization process, extraction process, biodiesel purification and recovery of natural products from waste. Currently, she is working on the projects entitled Volume Reduction of Produced Water, Purification of Biodiesel and Stability Enhancement of Biopesticides.
