KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

More career researchers listed in Stanford University's World's Top 2%

Scientists than any other private institution in Malaysia

The ever-growing reputation of research originating from Malaysia continues to

project our country as a forward thinking, problem solving nation of talented

scientists. Over the past few years, the number of research papers published by

Malaysian researchers has increased impressively, along with the volume of

publications included in highly-cited lists.

A perfect 10 accurately describes the number of scientists from Sunway

University who are listed in the top 2% of the most-cited scientists and

academics in various disciplines from around the world by United States based

Stanford University.

With the latest addition of Professor Agamutu Pariatamby, Professor Chia Yook

Chin, Professor Pervaiz K Ahmed and Professor Teo Kok Lay, Sunway University

now has more career researchers, listed in the World's Top 2% Scientist

produced by Stanford University, than any other private institution in Malaysia.

"With more research pioneers joining us, Sunway University hope to create

positive research impacts in various sectors such as engineering and

technology, medical and health sciences, computing and information systems,

business and management," said Professor Sibrandes Poppema, President of Sunway

University.

"The Stanford list comprises the top 2% of scientists and is based on the

number of citations their publications have achieved in their specific field of

research, either over their entire career or in recent years. The presence of

such successful researchers in our institution serves as an inspiration for

young scientists."

One of the key reasons for Sunway University's continuous rise towards the

pinnacle of research within Malaysia is its international collaborations with

colleagues in some of the world's leading international universities like the

University of Cambridge, Harvard University, and Massachusetts Institute of

Technology (MIT).

Professor Pariatamby joined Sunway University for the Special Studies Division

of the Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia. Professor Chia Yook Chin is

currently the Associate Dean for Sunway University's School of Department of

Medical Sciences. Professor Teo Kok Lay is currently the Associate Dean

(Research and Postgraduate Studies) for School of Mathematical Sciences while

Professor Pervaiz K Ahmed joined recently as the Director of Institute of

Global Strategy and Competitiveness & Professor of Management.

World's Top 2% Scientist list are: Sunway University President Professor

Sibrandes Poppema; Distinguished Professor and Head of Research Centre for

Crystalline Materials Edward Tiekink; Distinguished Research Professor & Head
