Prof. Dr. Wan Azmi bin Wan Hamzah

Topic: Recent trends in sustainable development techniques


College of Engineering – Universiti Malaysia Pahang Prof Dr Wan Azmi bin Wan Hamzah is currently a staff at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang. His research work was undertaken for the topic of Heat Transfer, Thermo-fluid Engineering, Automotive, Nanotechnology, Cooling System, Lubrication, Air-Conditioning System, Solar System, Tribology, and many more. His specialization area was related to Nanoparticles Dispersion Technology (Nano-DisTec). The research was invented the advanced automotive liquids with the use of nanotechnology namely Nanocoolants, Nanolubricants and Nanopaints. He was filed the patent for the Nanocoolants in 2011 with contribution to the improvement in heat transfer performance of heat exchanger system. Further, he was filed the patent for the Nanolubricants in 2017 with significant contribution to the energy saving for automotive air conditioning system. The recent research invention under his supervision is Nanopaints and expected to apply for patent by 2021. His excellent research work has been published in 160 scopus journals including High Impact Q1 Journals. He was awarded more than 100 awards from national and international bodies for the research outcome. Some of the awards were received such as Cendekia Bitara Award from UMP, best paper awards from various international conferences, gold Medal and special award from numerous exhibitions such as AiNEX UMP, CITREX UMP, ITEX (Malaysia), MTE (Malaysia), iENA (Germany), INPEX (USA), SIIF (Korea) and winner for Pertandingan Inovasi Nanoteknologi (PIN) under MOSTI.
