It is important to support juniors so that they can shine in their research
Dr. Amy came to Japan in 2010 on a Japanese government scholarship and obtained two doctoral degrees from Meiji University and Okayama University. She is currently continuing her research at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo. At the same time, she established the Malaysia-Japan Academic Society to deepen ties with researchers and experts and support their success.
Dr. Amy is also actively involved in the Malaysia-Japan Visionary Conference 2024 (MJVC2024) to be held at the University of Tokyo in September. MJVC2024 will feature papers on science and technology, social sciences and humanities, law, economics and business, engineering, manufacturing and construction, health and medicine, and new fields, promoting the exchange and acquisition of expertise.
Dr. Amy said, "MJVC2024 is on its way to success thanks to the support of many committee members (46 members, including 4 Japanese). I would like to thank KESUMA, TalentCorp, the Malaysian Embassy, the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, the Malaysian Japan Alumni Association, the Malaysian Students Association in Japan, Soka University, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, STEPAN-UNESCO, ALEPS, and the Japan branch of IMAN for their support.
I would especially like to thank Professor Kenji Tanaka, Professor Masahiko Horie, and Professor Moi for their help." She concluded by saying the following. "Malaysians living in Japan have a strong desire to contribute to the Malaysian community after graduating from university. In order for junior researchers to shine in their research, support from senior researchers is essential."
