I received my M.Sc in Computer Science from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2005 and a PhD degree from the University of Ulster (UK) in 2009 with the thesis entitled “Strengthening Steganography in Digital Images”. My research interests fall under the general theme of image processing including its practical applications, e.g., medical imaging, 3D reconstruction, pattern recognition, biometrics, steganography and watermarking. I have in record ten international, peer reviewed, Journal papers, 26 peer reviewed international conference papers, three patents granted and a book. I have won several awards, among which: faculty of Computing and Engineering best literature review prize (2008), best conference paper award given by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, best PhD thesis award and a place in the UK Science week competition for Britain's Top Younger Scientists, Engineers and Technologists (SET for Britain 2009). I have been awarded a research grant from University of Ulster’s Innovation centre worth ￡7,430 and co‐recipient of Proof of Concept (PoC) funding from Invest Northern Ireland for ￡77,074 for project titled “Secure digital watermarks (SDW). The latter project entitled us also to receive the Hi‐Tech category award sponsored by Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP), the event was covered by BBC Northern Ireland in 2009. At present, I am a Post‐doc research associate in medical imaging at Ume? Centre for Molecular Medicine, Ume? Universitet, Sweden. My current research is directed to enhancement of quantitative, qualitative and spatial assessment of the OPT (optical projection tomography) data of normal and diabetic pancreas. We are currently partners of an EU FP7 consortium named VIBRANT (In Vivo Imaging of Beta‐cell Receptors by Applied Nano Technology).
