Education Backgrounds
Profiles Dr. Suriati Paiman holds a Bachelor of Industrial Physics and a Master of Science (Physics) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), achieved in 1999 and 2002, respectively. Her doctoral studies in Semiconductor Compounds Nanowires were completed at the Electronic Materials Engineering division of the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, Australia, in 2012. Commencing her academic career in 2003, she became a lecturer at the Department of Physics at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Over the years, she advanced to Associate Professor, also serving as the Head of the Physics Department from July 2019 to July 2023.
Dr. Paiman's research focuses on nanostructured materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices, explicitly exploring low-dimensional materials like metal oxides and III-V compound semiconductors. Her research contributions are evident through her authorship and co-authorship of over 100 papers and conference presentations in these domains. In addition to her research endeavours, Dr. Paiman is deeply passionate about STEM education and outreach programs. She uses disruptive cyber technology, particularly the STEMSEL runlinc microcontroller, to create AI and IoT applications to control devices and promote social, economic, and cyber values. Dr. Paiman is an esteemed member of the IEEE and held a position in the Executive Committee of Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Chapter, Malaysia, from 2018 to 2020. Recognising her professional contributions, the Malaysian Board of Technologists (MBOT) honoured her with the Professional Technologists Award in 2020. She is currently leading two impactful research projects: 'Disruptive Technology Empowerment Program among Underprivileged Students,' awarded by the Malaysia National Commission for UNESCO and the Ministry of Education Malaysia (Suruhanjaya Kebangsaan UNESCO Malaysia - SKUM), and 'Enhancing Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) Performance through Surface Modification of the Contact Separation Layer with Polymer-Encapsulated Zinc Oxide Nanowires,' funded by the FRGS Grant. During her tenure at ANU, she is exploring catalyst synthesis and electrode fabrication for PEC water splitting to produce hydrogen, with a passion for sustainable energy and a vision for a hydrogen-powered future.
