Prof Mariyamni Awang teaches Petroleum Engineering at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) and taught Petroleum Engineering for more than 30 years before coming to the University. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Queensland, a Master's in Petroleum Engineering from Pennsylvania State University, and a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University. She specializes in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), reservoir engineering, and reservoir simulation.  Most of her research publications concern CO2 gas behavior, water-alternating gas (WAG), and reduction of minimum miscibility pressure. Her current interests are in chemical EOR, foam assisted WAG (FAWAG), and new materials, such as applications of nanoparticles. Her projects have been funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Ministry of Higher Education, Petroleum Research Fund, and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS internal funding.

Berihun Mamo Negash is a Lecturer at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Department of Petroleum Engineering in Malaysia. He received his B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia and his M.Sc. degree in Petroleum Engineering with a specialization in reservoir engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has taught Chemical Engineering courses at Bahir Dar University for more than 7 years.  At the same time, he was a part-time Lecturer of Petroleum Engineering at the Mekelle University for three consecutive years. Among others, he has taught computational methods, chemical engineering thermodynamics, transport phenomenon, reservoir modeling, and simulation, well logging, formation evaluation, and natural gas engineering. His doctoral thesis dealt with the application of system identification for production optimization of a reservoir. Currently, he is researching the application of machine learning to performance prediction for reservoirs
