Principal Investigator

Nur Syazreen Ahmad received her B.Eng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, and her Ph.D degree in Control Systems from the same university. She is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), with a specialization in intelligent control, sensor networks, and mobile robotics. Her current research focuses on autonomous systems, emphasizing intelligent optimization strategies for motion control, multi-modal sensing, indoor navigation, and human-robot interaction. Her work consistently aims to bridge the gap between theoretical principles and practical applications, striving to translate cutting-edge research into tangible, real-world solutions. Dr. Nur Syazreen was recently recognized by Stanford University among the Top 2% of Scientists in the World in the fields of Industrial Engineering and Automation, under the Citation Impact category.
