As far as research is concerned, it focuses on geology materials as natural contaminant sorbents, contaminants migration in soil and groundwater, acid mine drainage, remediation of contaminated land, groundwater modelling (MODFLOW FLEX) and slope stability modelling (OASYS Software). Thanks to his high level of expertise and passion in teaching, he has been awarded the prestigious Best Lecturer Awards twice by the university. He graduated and received a B.Sc in Geology from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia before pursued his Master`s degree at Cardiff University, the United Kingdom in Applied Environmental Geology and a Doctorate Degree in Environmental Geotechnique focusing on the interaction of compacted clay liner with contaminants. He contributes his expertise by being an active member of the Institute of Geology Malaysia and a life member of the Geological Society of Malaysia. He is currently a registered Environmental Impact Assessment Subject Specialist in Geology and Hydrogeology, a Registered Professional Geologist (P.Geol) from the Board of Geologist Malaysia and a qualified Environmental Site Assessor and Manager. His experience and competence are remarkable with the publication of more than 148 research articles and more than 30 technical reports on Geology, Hydrogeology and Environmental Site Assessment Projects.
