About Me

Ir. Dr. Norhaliza Abdul Wahab is a Professor in the department of Control & Mechatronics Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Prof. Ir. Dr. Norhaliza received her Ph.D in Electrical Engineering majoring in Control from the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom in July 2009.  She is actively involved in researching and teaching in the field of modelling and control, artificial intelligence, and optimizations. Her expertise is in industrial automation engineering. She has devoted her research to control and automation of water systems, industrial processes, and manufacturing system through national and international research collaborations. The automated fouling predictor for water treatment system has been successfully developed with International (Thailand) Collaborative Research Networking Grant (2020- 2021). Her research group currently focuses on industrial control automation of integrated water system, machine learning and deep learning applications towards sustainable development of membrane water filtration technologies supported by national (UTM High Impact and PRGS grants) and International (Spain) Collaborative Research Networking Grant (2021-2024). Another ongoing collaboration work is safe and flexible manufacturing focusing on cyber-physical system and intelligent computing system supported by International (Indonesia) Collaborative Research Matching Grant (2022-2023). Integration of engineering and process control together with intelligent computing harnessing the potential of digitalization in water treatment which is her recent research interest.
