She is actively leading a Tribology research group in UiTM with more than 100 indexed publications. Her engagement with MYTRIBOS has enabled her linked up with other tribologists in Malaysia. Currently, she is the President of Malaysian Tribology Society (MYTRIBOS). She is also the President of Society of Mechanical Engineering Liveliness SOMEL, which promotes many aspects of engineering including but not limited to education, research, industry-community engagement, engineering art, and engineering life style. Dr. Guoxin Xie received his doctoral degree at Tsinghua University, China, in 2010, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. After that, he spent two years at State Key Laboratory of Tribology, Tsinghua University, China for postdoctoral research. From 2012 to 2014, he worked at Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, for another two years in postdoctoral research. Since 2014, he has worked at Tsinghua University as a Tenure-track Associate Professor. His research interests include solid lubrication, electric contact lubrication, thin film lubrication, etc. He has published more than 80 referred papers in international journals. He won several important academic awards, such as Chinese Thousands of Young Talents, the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award of China, and Ragnar Holm Plaque from KTH, Sweden. Dr. Jitendra Kumar Katiyar is a Research Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology (Former SRM University). He is associated with the Tribology and Surface Interaction Research laboratory which is an advanced research lab dedicated to the promotion, development, and understanding of tribology in different application such as bearing, lubrication and polymer composites. He obtained his Ph.D., from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2017. He has completed his Masters from the same institution in 2010. He obtained his Bachelor of Technology from UPTU Lucknow with Honors in 2007. He has several life professional memberships such as Tribology Society of India, Malaysian Society of Tribology, and The Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE). Dr. Ahmad Majdi Abdul Rani received his PhD in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering from Loughborough University, UK, MSc in Industrial Engineering, and BSc in Manufacturing from Northern Illinois University, USA. His research interests are in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, and Tribology. He has supervised or is currently supervising more than 20 postgraduate (PhD and MSc) students. He received the Leadership in Innovation Fellowship â€" Newton Award, UK. He has secured three patents and won more than 15 gold awards in various exhibitions, and has authored over 150 publications to date. He has secured (as PI and Co-PI) several research grants from the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia (FRGS, PRGS, ERGS, MyBrain) and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (YUTP, I-GEN, STIRF). He has been associated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS since 1998, where he was head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 2009 to 2011.
