“Love what you do and do what you love. Passion is the key that opens the door to joy and abundance.” – David Cuschieri

In a world where most of us do what we need and what we push for,  following her passion and dream, one of our brilliant Malaysian women has found her own path by switching from being a medical doctor to now becoming a promising engineering scientist.

According to Asia Pacific University website, Ts. Dr. Reena Sri Selvarajan who made a life changing decision 20 years ago, to become an engineering scientist has been fruitful as she builds medical devices that improve the quality of life for humankind. She developed biosensors for artificial kidneys while pursuing her doctorate also she innovate a prototype of COVID-19 biosensors that could detect Coronavirus in the air.

With this amazing idea and prototype, Dr Reena and her team bagged the Gold Award at the Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) 2020’s COVID-19 International Innovation Award. (Isn’t that impressive)

In 2017, this 33-year-old lecturer receives the Research Excellence Award at the SPIE Biosensing and Nanomedicine X Conference.

Earlier in 2023, Dr. Reena was invited to represent Malaysia for the 11th edition of the Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS), happened from 17th to 20th January at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). She was selected to represent Malaysia based on her excellent performance, strong commitment towards her research field, and of course, her enviable young age among the excellent academicians.

She also had a golden unforgettable moment, where she gets to hold the Nobel Prize medal together with the Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry 2021, Sir David Macmillan.

She was inspired to embrace the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and now uses Project Einstein to continue fostering young talents. Students taking the Communication Engineering Fundamentals module at APU are taught how to effectively discuss scientific and innovation subjects as part of the assignment.

Dr. Reena will internalise a variety of valuable inputs from her interactions with multidisciplinary researchers at GYSS for generating titles for her students’ final year projects (FYP) and group design projects (GDP). (She’s a great educator indeed)
