The Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), proudly congratulates Dr. Mohamad Shahiir Saidin for winning a Gold Medal at the Johor International Innovation, Invention Competition and Symposium (JIIIS) 2025.

His project, titled “Site Selection for Solar PV Farm using ELECTRE in Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM),” introduces an innovative framework for identifying optimal locations for solar photovoltaic (PV) farms. By applying the ELECTRE method within the MCDM framework, the project provides a systematic and effective decision-making model that considers environmental, economic, and technical criteria for sustainable energy development.

This award recognises Dr. Shahiir’s commitment to renewable energy research and data-driven innovation, which supports Malaysia’s sustainable energy agenda and the global shift toward green technologies.

The Faculty of Science is proud to celebrate this outstanding achievement, which exemplifies our dedication to innovative science for a smarter and sustainable future.

Congratulations, Dr. Shahiir!
