Professor Dr Mohd Razman Salim’s expertise is developing innovative waterand-wastewater treatment processes using membrane and bio granulation technologies. He was also involved in researching waste management, using waste by-products such as fly ash, bottom ash and palm oil biomass as green construction materials. The focus of the study was to reduce carbon emissions for a low carbon society. His research work influences policy through new ideas and provides the required knowledge, enabling policymakers to be better informed in making their decisions. The output could be translated into wealth creation by generating income for the organisation. The research on waste management was pertinent in sustaining the environment by eliminating unwanted pollution (waste minimisation), contributing towards environmental sustainability, protection, and impact reduction. Together with his research team, he was awarded the Long-Term Research Grant (LRGS) to conduct research in developing a safe drinking water treatment system using membrane and adsorption processes. He was also involved in the group that JICA granted to establish a blueprint for a low carbon society in Iskandar Regions. He was involved in more than 60 research and consultancy projects, publishing more than 180 articles in journals and proceedings. His Scopus H-index is 28, with 3,635 citations. He received the University Excellence Award (2002, 2011); Research Award (Group) in 2004; Consolation Award (Article in National Journal) in 2006; and Publication Award (Article and Index-Journal Category) in 2010. As co-researcher, he has received various recognition, both national and international - INATEX (2008, 2010), PEREKA (2010), MTE (2011) and SIIF (2011). He has also joined the Malaysian Water Association (MWA) Task Force to publish a new manual entitled “MWA Planning & Design Guidelines for Water Supply Systems” Best Practices Handbook. Apart from this, he has been a member of the ASM task force on water and wastewater management in Malaysia.
