International islamic university malaysia
2007 - 2010Bachelor of biotechnology (hons.) marine biotechnology cgpa - 3.098 (upper second class)Activities and Societies: Adventure and Recreational Club (ARC), Science Students' Society (SCIENCESS) My final year project was a comparison of the effectiveness of three different types of artificial reefs in attracting coral and fish populations at Pulau Perhentian Besar, Terengganu. It involved SCUBA diving, underwater photography, tallying fish and corals, and recording data on a dive slate. The project helped me hone my diving skills, as I had to learn to maintain neutral buoyancy whenever I was near the artificial reefs, and I also had to learn to record data while floating upside down… Show more My final year project was a comparison of the effectiveness of three different types of artificial reefs in attracting coral and fish populations at Pulau Perhentian Besar, Terengganu.

By tracking the geospatial extent of tourists' snorkelling activities with a GPS unit and recording the coordinates of places where they stepped on or touched corals, I planned to develop a map to help Sabah Parks identify which areas might need to be cordoned off using booms to reduce coral damage from human impacts.

For this project, I had to learn about coordinates and mapping using ArcGIS from scratch by myself. Unfortunately, I did not finish the research due to financial and motivational problems resulting from the passing of my father. Show less
