Ir. Dr. Azfarizal bin Mukhtar, a graduate of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering), started his career as an Engineer at Malaysian Armed Forces in 2005. He holds various positions in 10 years’ service and opted for early retirement in 2015. He is a Chartered Engineer and Professional Engineer with UK Engineering Council (IMechE) and Boards of Engineer Malaysia (BEM) respectively. He obtained the Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2013 and his Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering from Universiti Tenaga Nasional in 2019. He received the best postgraduate student award (by research) for the academic year of 2018/2019. Upon completing his PhD, he joined IIUM as an academic staff. Currently, he is atmore...
