As the creature survived the severe struggle for existence for a long time, they get many refined techniques on the life phenomenon. I transcribe such a life phenomenon in a numerical formula in my study. And I extract a technique from a creature and apply it industrially. There are various transportation networks such as a railway network, ant trail , blood vessel network and the leaf vein. They have the property that a used path develops. On the other hand, the path without quantity of use degenerates. This network is called an “adaptive network”. The network topology of the adaptive network varies (like capillary and aorta). It is the purpose of my study to understand the formation of such an adaptive network. In addition, I study action control using a variety of rhythms and voluntary morphosis of organisms.

My research lies at the intersection of materials science and mathematical analysis. I have been mostly working on the mathematical modeling of micro-plasticity and phase transformations in Shape-Memory Alloys. More recently I have been working on the AI-assisted design of functional molecules.

Prof. Ridza obtained his PhD (UMIST, UK) in August 1989 in Quantum Optics, and the higher doctoral degree DSc (UMIST, UK) in December 2004. He is the MOSTE 1994 National Young Scientist Award winner in recognition of his research in Quantum Optics. He is the recipient of the IDG ASEAN Chief Security Officer (CSO) 2011 Award, and also recognized by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) as one of the 2017 Top Research Scientists Malaysia. He is a Fellow of the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society, Fellow of the Malaysian Institute of Physics and Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia. Presently, he is former Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM).

Associate Professor Dr. Normah Maan obtained her Ph.D. in Mathematics at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. She is the Research Group Leader for the Dynamical System Modelling Research Group at the Faculty of Science and also a mentor at the faculty’s SUNSHINE++ program, which nurtures research excellence in young academic staff. She is appointed as a Guest Editor for the Special Issue of Mathematics Journal -MDPI Editor.
Her research encompasses three main areas of Mathematical Modelling, which are Mathematical Modelling of Diseases and Environmental Problems with Optimal Control Strategy(such as Tumour-Immune Interaction, Breast Cancer, Dengue, and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)), Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) and Fuzzy Modelling.
