ANUGERAH AKADEMIKNEGARA (AAN) 2017

Prof. Ir. Dr. Srimala Sreekantan isrecognised as one of Malaysia’s most pro-lific research scientists in nano-materialstechnology, a field with great significancefor green energy, biomedical and environ-mental applications. Dr. Srimala’s contri-butions have uplifted Malaysia’s image asan innovative and research-driven coun-try. What makes her truly invaluable isher ability to turn discoveries into groundbreaking business ideas. Her unique andinnovative invention Nano-TiO2 havereceived Anugerah Akademik Negara(AAN) 2017 award in the category ofinnovation and commercialization. Nano-TiO2 is an excellent example of a commer-cialized research product that has metconsumer demands as well as stringentregulatory frameworks. It has overcomethe conventional wisdom that has focusedon air purification devices for improve-ment of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Itaddresses the global concern for poorIAQ that causes adverse health effect tohumankind. Nano-TiO2 has fulfilled andsuperseded all the criteria set out by AAN.It was designed to meet the stringentproduct quality of demanding market. Itis proudly marketed in North America,Europe, Middle East and North Africaregion. Its success in international marketis testament to its quality and valueadding properties. It has contributed toboth the nation economy and societalwell-being. The novelty and benefitsgained from Nano-TiO2 has earned manyprestigious international and nationalaccolades and acclaims. This reflects thehigh recognition of Nano TiO2 by distin-guished organizations. Together withpublications in high impact journals,these recognition also endorses the scien-tific merits as well as the societal & indus-trial needs for Nano-TiO2. Its success has

been contributed by the unrelentingefforts of the inventor. Throughout theyears, she has shown full commitmentand dedications in ensuring the product iswell validated and results are published.Since IAQ is each individual concern, shehas participated in various training andalso disseminate product information atvarious platforms to benefits the scientif-ic community, industries and consumers.Nano-TiO2 is a Malaysian made innovativeproduct with an international impact andhas benefited humankind and environ-ment.
