Abdul Hamid Bin Abdullah Bin Abdullah is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Curtin University Malaysia, Miri Campus. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2008 and an MSc from the same institution under the supervision of Prof Hanafi Ismail. His academic career at Curtin University Malaysia began in June 2012 as a Lecturer in Process Plant Technology, followed by roles in Petroleum Engineering from January 2015 to June 2018, and Mechanical Engineering from July 2018 onwards. Currently, he serves as Programme Coordinator for Mechanical Engineering since 2023 and Head of IP & Commercialisation in the Faculty of Engineering and Science. Prior to academia, he worked as a Research Officer at Universiti Sains Malaysia from May 2008 to February 2011, an Engineer at Tokuyama Corporation in Japan from March 2011 to February 2012, and at Tokuyama Malaysia from March to June 2012. He also completed an internship at Hokuetsu Seishi Paper Mills Ltd in Japan in 2007. Mr. Abdul Hamid has received the Long Service Award from Curtin University Malaysia and the Best Paper Award at the One Curtin International Postgraduate Conference in 2018.
His research focuses on polymer composite materials, including polymers, composites, materials characterization, biomaterials, green materials, rubber, recycled materials, and bio-waste. Key publications include journal articles such as 'The Influence of Matrix Density on The Weibull Modulus of Natural Fiber Reinforced Nanocomposites' (Materials Science Forum, 2022, with Wong, D. et al.), 'Tensile Strength and Morphological Behavior of Treated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Particle Reinforced Polymeric Composite' (Materials Science Forum, 2022), 'A Review: Recent Development of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites' (JOM, 2021), and earlier works like 'The Effects Of Accelerated Weathering On The Tensile Properties Of Kenaf Reinforced Biocomposites' (IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019). Conference contributions feature 'Enhancing Mechanical Performance of Bagasse Fiber-Epoxy Composite by Surface Treatment' (ICMST 2019). Through these efforts, he contributes to advancements in sustainable materials and engineering education.
