Professor Ir Dr Fatimah Ibrahim is a Biomedical Engineer. Her areas of expertise are BioMEMS, Carbon-MEMS, Compact Disc (CD) fluidics, Medical Devices and Bioinstrumentation, Biosensor, Physiological measurement and modelling, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) integration in medicine and detection and monitoring of infectious diseases and foodborne pathogens. She was the pioneering cofounder of UM’s Biomedical Engineering (BME) program. She formulated the BME syllabus, which has brought the programme to its current success and adoption by other universities’ BME programmes in Malaysia. She was the head of the BME department in 2005 and initiated to obtain the inaugural Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) accreditation for the BME program. She has attained various national and international grants and published more than 100 research articles in high impact journals, namely Biosensor & Bioelectronics (Impact Factor:10.257), Lab on a Chip (Impact Factor: 6.774), and Sensors & Actuators (Impact Factor: 7.100). She has 16 Intellectual Properties (Patents, Trade Secrets and Copyright). Two of her patent (Multiple Frequency Bio-impedance Analyzer Diagnostic Tool, modular exit bed alarm and smart wearable device for low back pain rehabilitation) have been licensed by industries. Her Scopus H-index is 31, with over 2,900 citations. She received the research grant, Special Prime Minister Project on Salat, amounting to RM2 million. The Salat research has produced many significant findings, namely the encyclopaedia (eight books) of Science Salat books and 27 graduates (20 undergraduate, five masters and two PhDs). In addition, she received more than 55 invitations as a seminar keynote speaker/speaker and produced 30 journals and proceedings resulted from this grant. One of her publications entitled “Siri Penyelidikan Sains Solat: Membongkar Fakta-fakta Saintifik Disebalik Solat” is one of the best seller books in Malaysia. The “Kesan Postur dan Pergerakan Solat” won the UM best book publication in 2006. She served as a member of the ASM Working Group on Neurotechnology under the Emerging Science, Engineering and Technology (ESET). She also participated in the ASM’s Stakeholder Engagement Workshop of Local & Transboundary Pollution Act Feasibility Study, the Open Science platform, and is a section editor of the ASM Science Journal for 2021 -2022.
