Abdul Ahmad

I worked from 1985 to 1995 in the Malaysian Polytechnic system as a Technical lecturer, after which I joined the industry at the Measat Broadcast Network Systems (MBNS), the satellite TV provider for almost 2 years from 1996 to 1997. Since 1997, I have been with Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) as Senior Lecturer, Head of Department, Deputy Dean and Associate Professor at the College of IT (now College of Computer Science and IT) as well as Manager at the Research Management Centre (RMC) and Head of Energy and Environment at the Institute of Energy Policy and Research (IEPRe). While in UNITEN, I have pursued my PhD and for a time, been seconded to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). I obtained my B.Sc from University of Queensland in Australia, M.Sc from Loughborough University, UK and PhD from a joint program between Malaysia and France. I have taught a range of subjects such as C programming, Parallel Computing, Mobile Application Development, Digital Logic Design, Computer Organisation, Operating Systems, Logic Systems and Process Control, Applied Statistics and Discrete Structures for the undergraduate programmes and Intelligent Systems, Project Management, Computer Networks and Research Methodology for the postgraduate programmes. I have been active with IEEE Malaysia as executive committee member and IEEE Computer Society Malaysia as executive committee member and at a time the Chair. I have also held the task of the secretariat of Malaysian National Grid Computing Initiative (NGCI) until present.
