About

Dr. Khalina Abdan is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of sustainable materials engineering and agricultural process automation. Her work centers on the development of eco-friendly biocomposites from natural fibers, with a particular emphasis on Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF). Dr. Abdan’s major contributions include innovating an automated spray-up process for PALF hybrid biocomposites, a breakthrough that integrates robotics with natural fiber reinforcement to create high-performance, biodegradable materials. Her most cited study (2019, 40 citations) demonstrates how this automated technique can replace conventional synthetic composites, offering a scalable pathway for green manufacturing. She has also investigated the effects of robot travel speed on fiber mass flow rate (2018, 11 citations), optimizing production efficiency. Beyond composites, Dr. Abdan applies computer vision to agriculture, using RGB imaging to monitor sweet potato quality during drying (2020), showcasing her versatility in precision horticulture. Her work has been presented at the prestigious XXX International Horticultural Congress, highlighting its global relevance. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Abdan is shaping the future of bio-based materials and smart agriculture, inspiring students and researchers to explore the intersection of robotics, natural fibers, and sustainability.
