Awang Ahmad Sallehin Awang HusainiDr Awang Ahmad Sallehin Awang Husaini is a Professor at the Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, UNIMAS. He has received his Doctorate degree in Molecular Enzymology from University of Manchester, Institute of Science and technology (UMIST) in2001. His research and work experience focuses specifically in enzymology, bioremediation, biodegradation; environmental biotechnology, downstream mycology and Molecular biology. He is currently working on several research project on the development of enhanced biofertilizer with biocontrol properties, bioremediation of organopollutant (hydrocarbon and pentachlorophenol), enzymatic studies on lignocellulolytic, pectinolytic and amylolytic degrading microorganism, bioremediation of domestic wastewater, biodegradation of sago industrial waste, composting of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB), green technology e.g. enzymatic retting of pepper for white pepper production, biodeinking and biopulping to name a few. So far, through his studies, he managed to come up with the enhanced biofertilizer products and developed several environmental friendly technology using biological agents such as microbes and enzymes that enhances the bioremediation of organopollutant and dyed wastewater. He is also actively involved in the production and characterization of bioactive metabolites produced by fungal endophytes through fermentation process using agricultural waste as substrates, particularly the lignocellulosic waste from agricultural commodities such as rice, sago and oil palm. He has 20 years of experience in teaching and research. He is also involved in research and innovation management administration since 2014. In terms of supervision, he successfully graduated a total number of 29 postgraduate students (21 Masters and 8 PhD) under his supervision and secured 44 number of research grants at the national, industrial and international levels. So far, he successfully published more than 75 number of scientific publications including journals, proceedings, book chapters and articles in bulletins. Read More Read Less
