TriPreM （Tribology and Precision Machining i-Kohza) won the “FAMILY SCIENTIST AWARD” in “2022 Eureka? Odyssey” held by UTM （Universiti Teknologi Malaysia）Department of Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research & Innovation (DVCRI).
On 9th Sep. 2022, TriPreM had the honor of the visit by Dato’ Dr. Haji Megat Sany bin Megat Ahmad Supian, Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha Dasar of Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi. Prof Fukuda explained the Japanese style of research and education practiced in MJIIT and the effectiveness of the fusion of researchers’ ideas and the budget from the government-to-government collaboration between Japan and Malaysia.
Dr. Maina Martin Ruthandi from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (http://www.jkuat.ac.ke/) is visiting TriPreM to experience our laboratory tools. We thank JICA for arranging Dr. Maina’s visit to TriPreM and hope this will be the kick-off of international collaborative research between his institute and TriPreM, MJIIT.
TriPreM welcomed the guests from JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) headquarters Human Development Department on 30th Aug. Prof Fukuda explained TriPreM’s collaborative activities with Japanese organizations and emphasized the importance of support by JICA in the next term of MJIIT to enhance the relationship between Japan and Malaysia.
We welcome our guest, Mr Yap Kian Kun, from Imperial College London for a polymer tribology research collaboration. Yap is an alumnus of TriPreM (Tribology and Precision Machining) i-Kohza and is currently a PhD student at Imperial College London. He received the STLE Elmer E. Klaus Fellowship 2022 for his work in in-situ tribometry for polymer characterisation. He also contributed his knowledge of lubrication to discuss the solutions to PPE-induced skin injuries among healthcare workers during COVID-19 which were published in the Tribology & Lubrication Technology (TLT) magazine in July 2021. We hope this collaboration will lead to great achievements in the field of tribology.
