Welcome to the Family,
Dr. Shafiq Bin Suhaimi!
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM
It is with great pleasure that the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering extends a warm welcome to Dr. Shafiq Bin Suhaimi, who joins our academic team. We are delighted to have him bring his energy, experience, and research passion to our community of staff and students.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Shafiq’s research sits at the intersection of aerodynamics and bio-inspired engineering design. His work spans a fascinating range of topics in mechanical and aerospace engineering:
A significant thread of his research draws inspiration from nature — particularly the study of bat-inspired and cambered flapping wings for micro air vehicles. Through experimental and simulation-based approaches, his work explores how wing camber, skin flexibility, and leading-edge features influence lift, drag, and overall aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds numbers. He has also contributed to studies on internal combustion intake flow, electrostatic precipitators, and surface engineering for cobalt alloys.
We look forward to the fresh perspectives and collaborations Dr. Shafiq will bring to our teaching and research endeavours. Please join us in giving him a warm welcome!
