One of our member, Mr Muntaka Musa had presented part of his PhD study at the 2nd International Conference on Mechanical System Engineering and Technology Applications (ICoMSETA) 2026 organized by Faculty of Mechanical Engineering & Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) on 27th of August 2026.
Yesterday, we are very honored to selected as one of the lab to be visited by team from ENGTEK Plant 2, Bukti Minyak, Penang headed by Dr Charles (Senior GM). They have been brief about the facilities available at the lab and latest research being conducted by the students.
The Metal Forming Research Lab (MFRL) would like to welcome Mr. Ahmed Khudhur to the School of Mechanical Engineering, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Engineering Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Mr Ahmed is from Iraq to pursue his PhD study focuses on application of machine learning in the optimization and prediction of wire are additive manufacturing technology.
We wish you a very good luck and hope you can finish the study on time.
Congratulation to Zarirah, one of our MFRL's member on her success in viva voce on 17th of July 2026. Her Master project focused on the shear behavior of bi-metallic (Mild steel - Stainless steel) structure fabricated using WAAM. Another project utilized our custom-made MIG based WAAM machine developed in-house. Thank you to co-supervisor Prof. Zuhailawati on her advice. Thank you also to all examiners for good and constructive comments. Congratulation Zarirah, keep it up.
Our team has recently published 2 more papers as part of our contribution to the body of knowledge and hoping that this findings may benefit the research community. Congratulation to the MFRL team.
