Profile and Awards
Prof Dato' Dr Roslan Abd Shukor
Department of Applied Physics
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia
Roslan Abd Shukor obtained his BSc in 1982 and MSc in 1985 in Physics
from Northern Illinois University, USA and his PhD in Physics from University
of Arkansas, USA in 1991. He is
currently a Professor at the Department of Applied Physics, Universiti
Kebangsaan Malaysia. His field of
research is on high temperature superconductivity. He was a Visiting Fellow at
the Department of Materials Engineering, Kyoto University (1997), Department of
Physics, Princeton University (2003) and Texas A&M University (2008-2009). He went to Sekolah Teknik Tuanku Jaafar,
Seremban, Negeri Sembilan for his high school.
He received a number of awards including the National
Young Scientist Award in 1999 and Malaysia Toray Science and Technology Award
in 2006. He also received several
research grants including from the Malaysia Toray Science Foundation and Third
World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), Italy. He is a fellow of the Malaysian Solid State Science and Technology Society, Academy of
Sciences, Malaysia and The Institute of Physics (UK). He was on the editorial board of several
local and international journals including Superconductor Science &
Technology, International Journal of Superconductivity, ISESCO Journal of
Science and Technology, Jurnal Fizik Malaysia and Solid State
Science and Technology. He was the
Editor in Chief for Sains Malaysiana from 2006 to 2013.
His fundamental work on
the electrical, magnetic and elastic properties of the copper oxide based materials has shed some light on the electron
pairing mechanism in these novel materials.
His research on the fabrication of thallium-based superconductor
derivatives also provides a path to search for new superconducting
materials. He has written more than two
hundred articles in indexed journals of high impact and several books on
superconductivity. He has also written
books and articles on improving writing skills for young researchers and
conducted many sessions on scientific writing, and scientific journal
management for editors.
