About the Lead Trainer
Prof Zaidi Mohd Ripin
He has been with USM since 1996 and previously worked at Proton R&D and Malaysia Sheet Glass. Over the course of his research, he has developed numerous solutions, notably the universal suspended handle for grass trimmers, along with other innovations related to healthcare, industrial applications, and agriculture. He has secured grants directly and indirectly from industries such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Panasonic, and through CREST collaborative research with Motorola, National Instruments, Dyson, Freedom Medical International, and SAS. He actively supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through product development and research assistance. In product development, he received a RM 1.5 million grant from MIDA for the development of a Parkinson’s disease tremor monitoring system. To date, the total amount of grants obtained from industry and industry-related work amounts to RM 6 million. He has supervised 20 PhD and 21 MSc students.
