   Biografi/ Biography :

  • Marlia Mohd Hanafiah is a Professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). She is also a Head of Centre for Climate Change System, Institute of Climate Change, UKM. She received her Ph.D Degree in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) from Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands in 2013. She has supervised/co-supervised 60 masters and 22 bachelor theses and currently she supervises 30 PhD’s in the areas of LCA, wastewater treatment, green technology and sustainability. She is the coordinator of several postgraduate courses at her department. Her research projects focus on modelling potential environmental impacts of multiple stressors in an LCA context and exploring potential bio-based and nanomaterials for recycling and treating wastewater towards sustainability and circular economy. She has published over 90 peer-reviewed papers, books, books chapters, technical reports and serves as peer reviewer for several high impact journals. As a project leader, she has received several international and national grants from various funding agencies with a total amount of more that RM 2 million. Since 2013, she has been involved in consulting and reviewing Criteria Document and Standard for companies, organizations and governments. She is currently conducting transdisciplinary research with a strong interest that integrates various scientific disciplines such as environmental engineering, industrial ecology, toxicity, mathematical modelling and environmental science. Her ultimate goal is devoted to introduce Life Cycle Thinking as a holistic view to assess environmental performance of products and technologies to solve fundamental and unprecedented society challenges, especially those related to sustainability.
