O autorze

Noorhana Yahya received her MSc. And P.hD in Physics from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 1998 and 2002, respectively. She is presently a Professor in Fundamental and Applied Science Department of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. She is a physicist specializing in electromagnetics and nanotechnology. She heads the Advanced Electromagnetics Laboratory in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.

She managed to boasts of research grants worth over RM 70 million. In 2012, Professor Noorhana leads a 12 million worth project funded by Long Term Research Grant Scheme (LRGS) secured from Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). This project was done with esteem collaboration from different public universities in Malaysia: Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia (UeTM). The project was successfully completed in 2016, and to carry forward to the next level, strategic commercialization and integration with Internet of Things (IoT) elements are actively being conducted to ensure the project is line with 4th Industrial Revolution.

 

 She has completed about 10 research projects, amassed 19 patents and authored over 250 publications for the past 16 years. Apart from that, Professor Noorhana also have been recognised within the nation and internationally. In 2010, due to her success in creating an electromagnetic transmitter in deep sea water has leads to a Gold Medal recognition in Science & Technology Competition held in Brussel, Belgium. She received the ‘Best Inventor Award’ by the International Federation Inventor Association (IFIA) through International Technology Exhibition (ITEX) which was held in Kuala Lumpur. This award is a recognition for her remarkable creativeness and innovation in fertilizer research and is considered as the most prestigious award throughout her career as an academician and researcher. Moreover, the Green Urea project also bag gold medals from Nuremberg, Germany as the ‘Best Green Invention’ under iENA the International Trade Fair Ideas-Inventions-New products and four more from national level research competitions.

 

Her most recently project is the RM 42.3 million “Game Changing Well Technology Using Electromagnetic’. This project deals with Nanotechnology and Electromagnetic for enhance oil recovery and it is collaborated with national as well as international University which is Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and Pembroke College, Cambridge UK.
