About

Dr. Maizura Mohktar is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering and healthcare technology, with a primary focus on developing intelligent systems for health monitoring and rehabilitation. Her work bridges artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and clinical applications to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Mohktar’s major contributions include pioneering research on adaptive self-organization in artificial robot organisms, where she explored how collective robotic systems can mimic natural self-organizing principles to achieve reliable, scalable behavior without central control. This foundational work, cited 17 times, addresses critical challenges in making self-organization purposeful and adaptive to changing environments. Beyond robotics, she has made significant strides in non-invasive health monitoring, particularly using smartphone-based sensors and machine learning to assess respiratory function and fall risk in elderly populations. Her research has been instrumental in developing practical, low-cost tools for chronic disease management and home-based rehabilitation. With over 1,000 total citations, Dr. Mohktar’s work is widely recognized for its translational impact, earning her multiple grants and collaborations with clinical partners. She is also a dedicated educator, mentoring the next generation of biomedical engineers at the University of Malaya.
