MELAKA: Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) hit another milestone - one of its senior lecturers was picked to head a research team to study lightning patterns in the Antarctic.

Dr Mohd Riduan Ahmad has been awarded the South Korean Polar Research Institute Asia’s Science Fellowship Scheme 2019 for the purpose and will work closely with KOPRI scientist Dr Park Sang-jong to study lighting patterns in the southern hemisphere.

Dr Mohd Riduan, she said, will be stationed at KOPRI headquarters in Incheon, South Korea, from July 6 for an estimated three weeks on the first phase of the research programme. “A electromagnetic measurement device would be used to study the lightning within a radius of 300km from the King Sejong station,” she added.
