This seminar is part of the France–Malaysia Collaboration for Joint Research (MyTIGER), a bilateral grant initiative introduced by the Embassy of France in Malaysia in 2022. The programme aims to strengthen research collaboration between higher learning institutions in both countries. This latest seminar represents the third instalment of the initiative, following earlier sessions held in March 2023 and December 2024, alongside a series of monthly virtual engagements between participating researchers.

MMU, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Noramiza and Dr. Wan Noorshahida from the Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI), together with their collaborator from Université de La Rochelle, Associate Professor Dr. Petra Gomez, were among the pioneering recipients of the MyTIGER grant. Their proposal was selected from 50 submissions and underwent rigorous evaluation by a scientific committee under France’s Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

Among the key research outcomes presented was the development of a specialised dataset for small object detection from aerial views in outdoor environments. The dataset, developed by Ms. Shahbe from FCI and Centre for Image and Vision Computing (CIVC), incorporates objects with and without shadows, addressing a critical challenge in outdoor surveillance and advancing research in computer vision.

Building on this success, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Noramiza secured a second MyTIGER grant in 2025, focusing on heart sound analysis. The project will also include co-supervision of a postgraduate candidate between MMU and Université de La Rochelle, further strengthening academic collaboration.

MMU recorded its appreciation to its collaborators from Université de La Rochelle and UniKL, as well as to all organisers, presenters, and participants. The University will continue to strengthen such collaborations to support impactful research and institutional progress.

Led by Dr. Teh Chin Hui and Ir. Dr. Siva Priya Thiagarajah, the initiative aimed to introduce students to solar energy systems and inspire interest in engineering and sustainable technology.

The programme began with a Photovoltaic (PV) Technology Fundamentals workshop conducted by Dr. Teh Chin Hui. Students were introduced to the basic components of a solar energy system, including solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, and simple electrical loads such as USB-powered fans and lights. The session was delivered through an interactive presentation to strengthen conceptual understanding.

In the second phase, students participated in a hands-on activity where they assembled a functional solar system using the components provided. The setup was then taken outdoors, allowing students to observe how sunlight is used to charge the system while presenting their work to the FAIE team.

As part of the initiative, the team also supported the installation of solar-powered lights around the school compound, contributing to the practical application of sustainable energy solutions.

The programme is expected to spark greater interest among students in engineering and STEM fields, while encouraging exploration of renewable energy and sustainable innovation as future career pathways.
