Marlia Mohd Hanafiah is a Professor and also a Head of the Centre for Tropical Climate Change System, Institute of Climate Change, UKM. She received her Ph.D Degree in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) from Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Her research projects focus on modelling potential environmental impacts of multiple stressors in an LCA and water footprint context and exploring potential bio-based nanomaterials for recycling and treating wastewater towards sustainability and circular economy. She has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact journals and serves as peer reviewer for several high-impact journals. She has delivered more than 60 invited lectures and short courses/trainings at national and international conferences and events on the subjects of LCA and sustainability. As a project leader, she has received international and national grants from various funding agencies with a total amount of more than RM 7 million. Since 2013, she has been involved in consulting and reviewing the International Policy Brief under UNESCO Jakarta, National Criteria Document and Standard for companies, industries and government organizations as well as served as Reviewer and Expert for Qatar National Research Fund and United Nations Centre for Regional Development. She is currently conducting transdisciplinary research with a strong interest that integrates various disciplines such as environmental engineering, industrial ecology, toxicity/risk modelling. Her goal is devoted to introduce Life Cycle Thinking as a holistic view to assess environmental performance of products and technologies to solve fundamental and unprecedented society challenges, especially those related to sustainability and clean technology.

Maggie Chel Gee Ooi graduated from the University of Nottingham, Malaysia in 2012 and 2018 with Master in Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering and PhD in Civil Engineering respectively. She joined the Cloud and Aerosol Lab, National Central University Taiwan as a postdoctoral research fellow from 2017 and 2019 to improve the fire emission transport scheme under the national air quality prediction system. She currently works as Senior Lecturer/Research Fellow at the Institute of Climate Change, National University of Malaysia (UKM). Maggie does research in application of chemical weather prediction model (WRF-CMAQ, WRF-Chem) in several aspects including urban climate and pollution transportation. Her current projects are real-time air quality forecast, biomass-burning haze transportation and influence of future climate change on air quality with numerical models.

Wee Hin Boo, PhD. Graduated from the University of the Ryukus (2020), Okinawa, Japan, specialized in symbiotic relationship between reef-associated organisms with symbiotic algae. Dr. Wee is an experienced diver with more than 500 logged research dives. Currently, his study interests involve the symbiotic relationship of reef-associated organisms facing climate change. Other than that, he is also working on coral reef biodiversity at different marginal reefs and rehabilitated sites. Dr. Wee’s study involves both in-situ monitoring methods (biodiversity count), as well as laboratory analyses (molecular approach, water quality analyses). He uses both mediums to collate a comprehensive biological and physiological adaptation patterns of target species in face of anthropogenic pressure and climate change. Finally, Dr. Wee is currently actively coaching interest parties in statistical analyses and study designs using the programming language R. If there are any interests in Dr. Wee’s works, please feel free to contact him at weehinboo@ukm.edu.my.

Siti Norliyana Harun is a Research Fellow/Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Climate Change (IPI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. She received a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree in Environmental Science from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2011 and 2015. Her PhD research is on life cycle assessment in the sustainability of rice production and water footprint of selected crops in Malaysia. Her current research focus is on the sustainability of the water- food-energy nexus, climate change and environmental sustainability literacy, and sustainable education. She is currently the project leader for Institute Masa Depan Malaysia’s research grant entitled ‘Resilience and adaptive capacities of ecotourism sector towards pandemic Covid-19’. The project attempt to produce a policy brief on the sustainability of the ecotourism sector in facing the challenge of Covid-19. She is also the head of the Training of Trainers (ToT) Program for ‘Plant a Million Trees’ project collaborations with ANGKASA. The ToT was given to teachers and students at schools in Malaysia.
