My passion in Innovation

Innovation can be described as the process that renews something that exists and not, as is commonly assumed, the introduction of something new..For me, my innovations are of course, prone to my nature of teaching in UiTM Perak - building services and environmental technology - two most lovable scope of Nur Azfahani's research!

My first starting gear is when I've been rewarded a Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) by MOHE in the year of 2007. The research-which was related with traditional and vernacular housing in Malaysia - completed in 2008. My first attempt in innovation is in the year of 2008 with several UKM and UM friends for UM Innovation Expo, and Alhamdullilah our project had won Bronze Medal. This success felts like a personal combat to me, as if I am in the military operations winning a strategic victory. haha..

This award had encouraged me to go more further.

Innovation can be seen as a change in the thought of process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries..So, in the year 2009, me and my group try to develop a ranking system to evaluate cross-ventilation in tropical houses using a computer software..

Alhamdullilah! who had ever wonder that this project won 5 awards so far since 2009 to 2010.

Thank you my team!! For a wonderful effort!
