QUALIFICATION
My primary field of research interest is Artificial Intelligence (AI).
PhD in Electric, Electronic and System Within AI, I am interested in problems related to vision, machine
Engineering learning and data mining, and their interdisciplinary applications to
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia biomedical and agriculture sciences. I have found the applications
in biomedical and agriculture sciences to be exciting not only
M.Sc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering because of their practical value, but also as an inspiration for new
Universiti Putra Malaysia types of problems that prompt the development of new theories
and algorithms that have not been investigated before. As a result,
Bachelor in Electronic Engineering/ my research work blends both theoretical and practical aspects of
Computer problems.

[email protected] My main research area focuses on Statistical Signal Processing with
Machine Learning Implementation (for pattern recognition). This
RESEARCHER ID research involves the optimization of detection algorithm based on
statistical model applied to a set of data. Example of previous
ORCID ID : 0000-0002-8821-5190 application was in Astrophysics domain to detect faint emission
ResearchGate : Raja_Fazliza_R_Suleiman lines, and my current ongoing research is in Agriculture domain. To
date, I lead a group of research team for agriculture application,
QUALIFICATION where the objective is to detect plant disease and nutrient
deficiency using deep learning. The aim is to automate the plant
PhD (Science) in Signal Processing health monitoring system by using IoT technology as well. In
Univ. of Nice, France addition to signal processing and pattern recognition, I’m also
M.Sc. Electronics (Telecommunications & interested in vehicle localization and mapping research where
Microelectronics Systems) estimation theory is applied to optimize the accuracy.
