Dr. Noor Zaitun Yahaya

Leading the conference as Chair is Dr. Noor Zaitun Yahaya, Chief Executive Director of Global Enviro Enterprise in the United Kingdom. Dr. Noor Zaitun brings a rare combination of academic excellence, technical expertise and international leadership experience. 

Her background in environmental management, air quality, aerosol science, and emission instrumentation makes her highly suited to guide a conference dedicated to continuous emissions monitoring. Her PhD research at the University of Leeds contributed to an award-winning team recognised with the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for excellence in air quality research.

Over the years, she has successfully chaired major international conferences including the Better Air Quality Conference and the Asian Aerosol Conference 2024. Her work in artificial intelligence and big data analytics for environmental modelling, particularly through the development of the My_Atmos system, demonstrates her forward-looking approach to modern air quality solutions.

Her leadership experience across international organisations and professional societies further strengthens the conference’s global reach and reputation.

Dr. Juliana Jalaludin

Supporting the conference as Co-Chair is Prof. Dr. Juliana Jalaludin from Universiti Putra Malaysia. With more than 28 years of experience in environmental health and air pollution research, Prof. Juliana is one of Malaysia’s leading experts in air quality monitoring and exposure assessment.

Her expertise covers urban pollution, industrial emissions, transboundary haze, and the health impacts of poor air quality. She has played a major role in shaping Malaysia’s clean air policies through her involvement in the National Clean Air Action Plan and revisions to the Malaysian Air Pollution Index.

Her extensive publication record, leadership in international scientific conferences, and experience managing research teams and large-scale events make her a valuable asset to CEM Asia. Her strong connections with government agencies, researchers, and international organisations will help ensure meaningful scientific and policy discussions during the conference.

Dr. Mohd Talib Latif

Heading the Scientific Committee is Prof. Dr. Mohd Talib Latif of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. A Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia and an internationally recognised atmospheric chemist, Prof. Talib has extensive expertise in aerosols, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric processes.

His collaboration with Malaysian government agencies and international scientific programmes, including the IPCC and IGAC-MANGO, provides the conference with strong scientific credibility and global relevance. His experience in emissions research and atmospheric monitoring ensures a rigorous and technically strong scientific programme.

The committee is further strengthened by internationally respected experts including Sanjeev K. Kanchan from India, whose experience in environmental governance, industrial decarbonisation, and monitoring technologies brings valuable industry and policy perspectives. 

Dr. Sheng-Lun Lin contributes expertise in aerosol science, advanced thermal processes, and PFAS pollution research across East Asia.

Prof. Puji Lestari from Indonesia offers decades of experience in air quality modelling, emissions inventories, and atmospheric chemistry, while Dr. Kasturi Devi Kanniah provides cutting-edge knowledge in remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and geospatial analysis for pollution monitoring.

CEM Asia is free to attend. For industry professionals wishing to attend, please register today.
