Assoc. Prof. Dr. Azahari presenting his talk

The gathering held on Feb 27, 2011 at OUM Main Campus was the second gathering for the year 2011. 40 Phd Students turned up to listen to the lecture presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Azahari Ismail from UPM. The title of his presentation was "Philosophy of Research”.





Participants were highly engaged in this talk as Dr. Azahari gave a good account on what constitute a research and the philosophy in carrying a research. Dr. Azahari shares his 30 years of experience in conducting research. He has published more than 100 papers. Participants have definitely benefited from his talk which lasted about 2 hours.



The slides for his presentation can be obtained from FaceBook/Richard Ng.
