Dr. Meor Hakif bin Amir Hassan is an esteemed Associate Professor and the Head of the Department of Geology at the University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia’s oldest and most prestigious university. With a solid academic and professional background, Dr. Meor Hakif has made significant contributions to the fields of sedimentology, stratigraphy, and petroleum geology.

Graduating with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Geology from UM in 2002, Dr. Meor began his journey into geological sciences with early industrial exposure through an internship at Esso Production Malaysia Inc. His academic pursuits led him to earn an M.Sc. with distinction from UM, followed by a Ph.D. and the Diploma of Imperial College (DIC) from Imperial College London, where his research focused on the sedimentology of Sarawak’s Nyalau Formation. 

His professional career includes a tenure at PETRONAS, where he worked on the sequence stratigraphy and biostratigraphy of the Sarawak Basin, before returning to academia. At UM, he has played pivotal roles including serving as the Programme Coordinator for the MSc in Petroleum Geology, Vice President of the Geological Society of Malaysia, and Associate Editor at the University of Malaya. 

A prolific researcher, Dr. Meor has authored over 100 publications, including a landmark paper in Nature Communications. His research mainly revolves around the sedimentology of siliciclastic rocks, tidal deposits, and the stratigraphy of Palaeozoic successions in northwest Peninsular Malaysia. Notably, he discovered and named new fossil species such as Praedaraelites tuntungensis and Crenulosepta perlisensis, and identified the new stratigraphic unit, the Sanai Limestone. 

Beyond research, Dr. Meor is a highly regarded field geologist, leading countless geological field trips across Malaysia, fostering collaboration between academia and the petroleum industry. He also acts as a professional consultant for major oil and gas companies and has supervised numerous undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. students. He holds memberships and leadership positions in various professional organizations, such as the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the International Association of Sedimentologists. His contributions have been recognized with multiple awards, including Universiti Malaya’s Excellence Award and the prestigious German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship. 

A certified Professional Geologist (P.Geol.) with Malaysia's Board of Geologists, Dr. Meor Hakif continues to advance geological research and education while contributing actively to Malaysia’s geoscientific community.

Dr. Mohd Fakhrurrazi Ishak is an Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of Civil Engineering Technology, University Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah.
