Nine faculty members from the College of Engineering and Geosciences (CEGS) showcased a total of 11 research papers in the 5th ASEAN International Conference on Energy and Environment (AICEE 2025) held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia, from October 15 to 17, 2025. These papers focused on the university’s strong interdisciplinary approach to addressing energy efficiency, renewable systems, and sustainable resource management.
Aside from AICEE 2025, the university is also an Academic Partner of the 25th ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF-25) and the 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM). These prestigious events convened leading researchers, industry professionals, and academic institutions across the ASEAN region to share insights and breakthroughs on sustainable energy and environmental innovations.
