Rizal Ramli

Enthusiastic physics researcher who specialises in photonics. Contributes significant number of publications (more than 20) with hard work, dedication and teamwork as well as willing to go the extra mile to achieve research goal. Clear understanding on the field of photonics, fiber sensor and ultrafast fiber laser, for application in industry, environment and medicine.

Motivated to learn, grow and excel in physics (both fundamental and applied physics) in academic, R&D and services to the society. As a Postdoctoral researcher at FKAB, UKM, current academic and research interests and specialisations are fundamental and applied physics related to photonics, specifically development of Forward Brillouin Scattering (FBS) sensors and pulse fiber lasers particularly, tapered fiber, arc-shaped, multimode fiber, graded index fiber, PVA film and polarisation maintaining fiber. Current h-index is 9 (Google Scholar).
