MOHD TALIB LATIF

I am a professor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Air Pollution at the Department of Earth Sciences and Environment, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and a fellow Malaysian Academy of Science (FASc). I completed my BSc in Chemistry and MSc in Environmental Chemistry (Air Pollution) at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and my PhD at the School of Environmental Science, University of East Anglia, United Kingdom. Currently, I am the Chairman of the Department of Eart Sciences and Environment at the Faculty of Science and Technology, UKM and the president of the Malaysian Association for Aerosol and Air Quality Research (MAAQR). I was a Deputy Dean (Postgraduate) at the Faculty of Science and Technology (2018-2020), Deputy Director at the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI, UKM) (2015-2018), Head of the Centre for the Tropical Climate Change System (IKLIM), Institute for Climate Change (2013-2014) and Head of Environmental Science Programme (2010-2013). My main research work includes the composition of atmospheric aerosols from various backgrounds including sea surface microlayer (SML). I also work on the composition of gases, mainly surface ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. My research group works closely with government agencies in Malaysia, such as the Malaysian Department of Environment (DOE) and the Malaysian Meteorological Department (Met Malaysia). At the international level, I am actively involved with the research community within the Asian continent through the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry- Monsoon Asia (IGAC-Mango) project. From 2018 to 2023, I was appointed to one of the scientific steering committees for the Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS). I am now a member of The Task Force Bureau (TFB) on the National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In 2018, I received the Top Research Scientist Malaysian Award from the Academy of Science Malaysia for my research and publication.
