Bio Sketch

Nurisya Mohd Shah received her Ph.D in Physics (Mathematical Physics) in 2014 from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. She is currently serving as a senior lecturer in theoretical physics at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). In addition, she is also a research associate at the Laboratory of Computational Sciences and Mathematical Physics, Institute for Mathematical Research (INSPEM) UPM. She also serves as the current coordinator for the department physics program curriculum of UPM. She is also currently a Council Member of Malaysian Institute of Physics (IFM) for the term 2023-2025. In addition, she is part of the Malaysian Quantum Information Initiative (myQI) as the coordinator for the section of quantum information and algorithm (https://www.myqi.my/main).

Dr. Nurisya's main research work is in the area of noncommutative quantum mechanics (NCQM), specializing in biorthogonal polynomials. She is very much interested in the techniques in group theory and operator methods applied in quantum mechanics. She publishes several articles in that related area. She has been actively involved in initiating and developing research in theoretical physics in the department and thus the faculty. She is also the member of the main organizer of Expository Quantum Lecture Series (EQuaLS). EQuaLS is a lecture series hosted by the Institute for Mathematical Research (INSPEM) at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) with the primary objective of the lecture series is to rapidly introduce students to frontier topics in quantum theory and information by inviting international prominent researchers in the relevant area. In 2022, she is the chairman of EQuaLS2022 together with the celebration of the World Quantum Day 2022.

Despite formal activities like teaching and research, Dr. Nurisya is currently an editor of a local Malaysian website discussing physics named fizikkini.com. She teams work with several other researchers from different local universities to promote physics in Malay language. In the same line, she is also a writer of several popular articles for local science, popular science magazine in Malaysia, the Dewan Kosmik. Formerly, she represented Malaysia to be the first Malaysia Delegates participating in the Lindau Meeting with Nobel Laureates in Physics, 2004 sponsored by the Academy of Science Malaysia, ASM.
