Expert Profile


Dr Wan Khartini completed her Ph.D in Material Engineering from the University of Federico II, Naples, Italy (2009-2012). The focus of her doctoral research was to design nanoparticulate-based platform by electric field technique for drug delivery application. On completion of her Ph.D, Dr Wan Khartini was engaged in research at the polymer scaffold design and had gained hands-on experience in the electrospinning technique.
After finishing her Ph.D in Italy (2012), she joined International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) Kuantan as a lecturer at the Department of Chemistry, Kulliyyah of Science. She has secured few local research grants particularly on nanofibers/nanoparticle polymeric based scaffold for drug delivery application. For her research, she had three postgraduate students currently working on this research. She also teaches undergraduate students.
On top of that, Dr Wan Khartini had the opportunity to conduct postdoctoral/attachment research training at IBM, Silicon Valley, USA and had also been invited to join New York Academy of Science programme, New York in 2014 after winning the Community-based Scientific Project Proposal.
