The conference featured keynote speeches by four distinguished professors, who presented on topics such as rare-earth-doped ultrawide bandgap semiconductors, metasurfaces’ production and applications, lithium slag in concrete, and crystallography of shear banding in FCC metals. These thought-provoking presentations sparked lively discussions among researchers and scholars.

Prof Qixin Guo from Saga University, Japan, delivered a keynote speech titled Photoluminescence Characteristics of Rare Earth-Doped Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductors by Synchrotron Radiation Excitation



Prof Sigitas Tamulevičius from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, delivered a keynote speech titled Production, Optical Studies, and Applications of Metasurfaces

The conference also included 30 invited and oral presentations delivered in three parallel sessions, which provided valuable insights into various aspects of materials science and engineering. Best Oral Presentation Awards were presented to recognise outstanding contributions and to encourage scientific exchange. Additionally, 18 poster presentations showcased impactful research findings, with two poster presenters selected as the Best Poster Award recipients by the judging panel.

Prof Faiz Shaikh from Curtin University, Australia, delivered a keynote speech titled Fresh, Mechanical, and Microstructural Properties of Concrete Containing Lithium Slag (Lithium Refinery Residue)



Prof Henryk Paul from the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, delivered a keynote speech titled On the Crystallography of Shear Banding in FCC Metals Deformed at High Strain Rates: A Study Modeled on Copper Single Crystals with (112) [11-1] and (346) [63-5] Orientations

CMSE 2024 served as an effective platform for both national and international scientists, researchers, and engineers from academia and industry to exchange knowledge, share technological advancements, and foster collaborations in the materials science domain.

Held concurrently with CMSE 2024 at UTAR Kampar Campus, the 6th International Conference on Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems (MLIS 2024) attracted participants from more than seven economies, including students from UTAR FEGT.

Three renowned keynote speakers from the United States, Serbia, and India delivered insightful presentations on cutting-edge topics in machine learning and intelligent systems. The conference provided a robust platform for participants to explore recent scientific and technological advances in the field, while also strengthening connections within the scientific community.

Prof Rinat O. Esenaliev from the Department of Neurobiology, University of Texas, USA, delivered a keynote speech titled Biomedical Optoacoustic Imaging and Monitoring: Implications for Machine Learning



Prof Vladan Devedzic from the Faculty of Organisational Sciences, University of Belgrade, Serbia, delivered a keynote speech titled I Can’t Think of Anything to Say Except ‘Laughing is Nice’ – The AI Frenzy Doesn’t Stop



Prof Ankush Ghosh from the University Center for Research & Development (UCRD) at Chandigarh University, India, delivered a keynote speech titled AI-Driven Sustainability for Autonomous Driving, via online

Both conferences highlighted UTAR’s commitment to advancing research and fostering collaboration in diverse fields, contributing to the university’s mission of providing quality education and impactful research.
