Muhammad and “An On-Line Genetic Algorithm-Based High Precision Dispenser System for High Viscosity Material” project by Dr. Johnny Koh Siaw Paw. All three are from the College of Engineering (COE), UNITEN. ITEX is the region’s leading exhibition to showcase new inventions, new technologies and products, with the aim to secure investment, manufacturing and commercialisation prospects and partners.
