More career researchers listed in Stanford University's World's Top 2% 
Scientists than any other private institution in Malaysia


The ever-growing reputation of research originating from Malaysia continues to 
project our country as a forward thinking, problem solving nation of talented 
scientists. Over the past few years, the number of research papers published by 
Malaysian researchers has increased impressively, along with the volume of 
publications included in highly-cited lists.

A perfect 10 accurately describes the number of scientists from Sunway 
University who are listed in the top 2% of the most-cited scientists and 
academics in various disciplines from around the world by United States based 
Stanford University.

With the latest addition of Professor Agamutu Pariatamby, Professor Chia Yook 
Chin, Professor Pervaiz K Ahmed and Professor Teo Kok Lay, Sunway University 
now has more career researchers, listed in the World's Top 2% Scientist 
produced by Stanford University, than any other private institution in Malaysia.

"With more research pioneers joining us, Sunway University hope to create 
positive research impacts in various sectors such as engineering and 
technology, medical and health sciences, computing and information systems, 
business and management," said Professor Sibrandes Poppema, President of Sunway 
University.

"The Stanford list comprises the top 2% of scientists and is based on the 
number of citations their publications have achieved in their specific field of 
research, either over their entire career or in recent years. The presence of 
such successful researchers in our institution serves as an inspiration for 
young scientists." 

One of the key reasons for Sunway University's continuous rise towards the 
pinnacle of research within Malaysia is its international collaborations with 
colleagues in some of the world's leading international universities like the 
University of Cambridge, Harvard University, and Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (MIT).

Professor Pariatamby joined Sunway University for the Special Studies Division 
of the Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia. Professor Chia Yook Chin is 
currently the Associate Dean for Sunway University's School of Department of 
Medical Sciences. Professor Teo Kok Lay is currently the Associate Dean 
(Research and Postgraduate Studies) for School of Mathematical Sciences while 
Professor Pervaiz K Ahmed joined recently as the Director of Institute of 
Global Strategy and Competitiveness & Professor of Management.

Sunway University's other researchers listed in the Stanford University's 
World's Top 2% Scientist list are: Sunway University President Professor 
Sibrandes Poppema; Distinguished Professor and Head of Research Centre for 
Crystalline Materials Edward Tiekink; Distinguished Research Professor & Head
