SENIOR LECTURER: DEGREE PROGRAM
Ahmad Shuhaimi Abu Bakar, DEng(NITech, Japan),
MEng(NITech, Japan), BEng(NITech, Japan) The Department of Physics currently offers two programs at
(III-V Nitride Semiconductors, Optoelectronics Fabrication) the Bachelor’s level, that is, the Bachelor of Science in Physics
Azzuliani Binti Supangat, BSc(UPM),MSc(UM), PhD and Bachelor of Science in Materials Science. List of all the
courses offered in this program can be found under the section
(Australia) Structure of Degree of the respective program. Program B.Sc.
(semi-conducting polymers, nanomaterials, semiconductor in Physics consists of three levels, namely Introductory,
devices) Intermediate and Advanced levels. The program starts with
introductory courses in physics while the Intermediate level
Chiu Wee Siong, PhD(Nottingham), MSc(UKM), BSc(UKM) builds strong fundamentals in physics through courses such as
(Magnetic Nanomaterials, Semiconductor Photocatalysis, Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Mechanics,
Materials Characterization) Mathematical Methods, Statistical Physics, Computation and
Numerical Methods, and etc. In the Advanced level, the
Chong Wu Yi, PhD(Mal), MSc(Mal), BSc(Mal) students have the opportunity to take up courses focussed in
(Laser Physics, Photonic Technology, Optical Sensor) various fields. There are eight focus fields that offer various

Goh Boon Tong, PhD(Mal), MSc(Mal), BSc(Mal) respective elective courses. These are Plasma Physics, Laser
(Semiconductor physics, Inorganic nanomaterials, Optical and and Optoelectronics, Semiconductor Physics, Nuclear Physics
x-ray spectroscopies) and Elementary Particle Physics, Space Physics, Radiation
Physics and Biophysics, Physics of Materials and Electronics.
Huang Nay Ming, PhD(UKM), MSc(UKM), BSc(UKM) Students are also required to carry out a project in any one of
(Graphene, Nanomaterials, Solar energy) these fields. B.Sc.(Materials Science) consists of four levels.
The first level gives emphasis on the basic physics necessary
Lim Kok Sing, PhD(Mal), BEng(Mal) for further study of Materials Science. Level two investigates
(Fibre Laser, Fibre Optic, Optical Sensor) material properties and material characterization methods such
Mohd Hamdi Bin Ali PhD(Mal), BSc(Mal), as the Mechanical Properties of Materials, Electrical Properties
(Polymer electrolytes, electrochemical devices) of Materials, Materials Characterization and Magnetic
Properties of Superconducting Materials just to name a few.
Nazhatulshima Ahmad, PhD(Mal), MSc(Mal), BSc(Mal) Level three and four consists of course that is more modern,
(Stellar Astrophysics, Moon Crescent, Instrumentation) such as Semiconductor Materials and Devices, Nanomaterials
and Nanotechnology, Organic Electronic Materials and

Ramesh Kasi, PhD., MS (By research)., B.E.(Chem) Computational and Simulation, Photonic Materials and devices.
(Corrosion coatings, antifouling coatings, polymer electrolytes) Students are also required to carry out the project in one of the
Richard Ritikos, PhD(Mal), MSc(Mal), BSc(Mal) fields above. Industry training is compulsory for BSc Program
(Solid State Physics, Material Science, Programing and (Materials Science).
Instrumentation)
At the end of the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Physics
Rozalina Zakaria, Phd (UK), MSc (Mal), Bsc (UPM) program, graduates are able to:
(Plasmonics, Laser Physics, Optics, Photonic)
1. Demonstrate proficiency in the basic knowledge in the
Siti Fairus Abdul Sani, PhD (Surrey), BSc (Surrey) major fields of physics (classical mechanics, electricity and
(Radiation Physics) magnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and
thermodynamics) and the field of applied physics (e.g.
Thamil Selvi Velayutham, PhD(Mal), MSc(Mal), BSc(Mal) solid state physics, optics, nuclear physics, atomic physics,
(Material Science, Functional Materials) etc.).
2. Demonstrate practical skills in physics such as designing,
Woo Haw Jiunn, PhD(Mal), BSc(Mal) setting up experiments, collecting and analyzing data,
(Advanced Material) identifying sources of error, interpreting experimental
results and connecting results to related physics concepts
or other scientific theories).
