Biography
Professor Dr. Zuhailawati Hussain is a professor in metallurgy from the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Her research work emphasizes on the development of novel and sustainable metal matrix alloys and composites using environmentally friendly manufacturing methods including powder metallurgy, surface engineering and welding. Professor Zuhailawati highlights selection, formulation, microstructure and fabrication of novel alloys and metal composites in creating new potential of advanced materials benefiting society. Her research on antiviral and antibacterial coating development is supported by Special Program For Research Against Covid-19 (SPRAC) provided by AUN/SEED-Net JICA (304.PBAHAN.6050455.A119). The self-disinfecting TiO2 nanoparticles with biodegradable polymer based coating are expected to combat COVID-19 transmission which could reduce the spreading and help people to relief their anxiety while touching contaminated surfaces in public places particularly metal objects.
