Welcome to the Office of Research and Innovation.
Asst. Prof. Ts. Dr. Hazwani Bt Mohd Mohadis
Head of Research & Innovation(Ho RI)
It is my great pleasure to present the research strength and international outlook of the Kulliyyah of Information and Communication Technology (KICT), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Our research is guided by the university’s philosophy of integration, Islamization, internationalization, and comprehensive excellence, ensuring that the knowledge we generate contributes both to scholarly advancement and to the betterment of society.
KICT is home to a vibrant community of researchers working across 13 dedicated Research Units, covering diverse areas such as Computational Intelligence, Smart Data Analytics, Perceptive and Sentiment Computing, Pervasive Computing for Brain Development, Cybersecurity, Information Assurance & Security, Semantic Body of Knowledge and Technology, Smart Learning & Innovation, Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology & Applications, ICT & Islam, Digital Humanities, Internet & Governance and Software Engineering. This diversity reflects our commitment to innovation, interdisciplinarity, and societal relevance.
Our strongest regional partnerships are with universities in Indonesia, where collaboration spans a wide range of activities such as joint research grants (with Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, Universitas Raharja, and Universitas Semarang), co-organizing international conferences (such as ICCIT, IICRO, ICCED, and CITSM), staff and student mobility programs, guest lecture series, and visiting researchers. These initiatives have enriched our academic community and fostered a spirit of cross-border knowledge sharing.
Beyond Indonesia, we also engage with global partners such as Strokelab BV (Netherlands), through the establishment of the Neurocoach Digital Lab to advance EEG- based neurofeedback research, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Australia, through a cyber resilience project to strengthen Malaysia’s cyber leadership and capacity building.
At the same time, KICT is proud to contribute to the development of the digital creative industry through initiatives in digital games and e-sports. In collaboration with GamesMY , we are advancing research and innovation in game-based learning, digital entertainment, and e-sports development, nurturing talent that can thrive in this dynamic and competitive field.
As we look ahead, we warmly welcome collaboration with international partners, universities, industries, and communities. We believe that impactful research is best achieved when ideas, cultures, and disciplines converge. Together, we can co-create knowledge and innovations that transcend borders and benefit humanity.
