Recently, Professor Ahmad Fauzi bin Ismail, Academician of the Malaysian Academy of Sciences and former Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), visited DNUI and was officially appointed as an Honorary Professor.

President Guo Quan presented the letter of appointment to Fauzi and extended a warm welcome on behalf of the university. He stated that Fauzi enjoys a high reputation in the field of materials science in Malaysia and globally, and during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor of UTM, he led the university to achieve remarkable development. As an Honorary Professor of DNUI, Fauzi will provide significant support for the long-term exchange and cooperation between the two institutions and for interdisciplinary academic collaboration in "Health + New Materials."

Fauzi noted that Dalian Neusoft University of Information's integration of industry and education in fields like IT and health technology, and the quality of its application-oriented talent cultivation, are very effective. He emphasized that the value of scientific research lies in its application, and the membrane materials and technologies he has been developing also hold great application potential in medical fields such as hemodialysis. He looks forward to future in-depth collaboration leveraging Neusoft's unique "Education-Healthcare-Eldercare" industry-academia-research ecosystem.

Fauzi is an expert on the Malaysian Government Policy Advisory Committee, the founding Director of the National Advanced Membrane Technology Research Centre in Malaysia, and has received over 200 national and international awards. His research focuses on developing polymer, inorganic, and hybrid-based membranes for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, gas separation processes, membranes for fuel cell applications, palm oil refining, hemodialysis membranes, and smart optical fibers for tracking oil flow migration. Following his appointment as an Honorary Professor at DNUI, he will provide guidance and support to our faculty and students in various areas including education and teaching, scientific research, and international cooperation.
