Biography

Norulsamani Binti Abdullah (N. Abdullah) is a post-doctoral research fellow at Research Centre for Nanomaterials and Energy Technology (RCNMET), School of Engineering and Technology, Sunway University. She obtained her Bachelor with Honours (Chemical Engineering) and PhD (Fuel Cell Engineering) from National University of Malaysia (UKM) in 2013 and 2018. She has awarded with the change of status from Master to PhD on 2015 from Academic Management Centre of UKM due to the excellent master research achievement. She has an experience as a research assistant at Fuel Cell Institute, UKM from 2014 to 2017 and continues her career as project-based researcher at RCNMET, Sunway University in 2019 to 2020. She has published several journal articles in peer-reviewed and high impact factor (top 10%) journals especially on renewable energy, catalysis and nanomaterial.
