NANOCAT (Nanotechnology and Catalysis Research centre) is a pTJ incorporated by UM in 2012, a UMCoE. Its mission is to be a world leader in “catalysis and nanotechnology” coining sustainability and green technology. NANOCAT research thrust is deploying catal-ysis to support energy, chemical synthesis, environment pollution and global warming mitigation as well as designing smart materi-als as catalyst, sensor, nanocoating, and na-nocomposite.NANOCAT was given a status of HICoE Po-tential in 2013, in catalysis. The Centre has strived to attain a national status for HiCOE (MOHE) as well as NanoCentre (NND, MOSTI) with strong support and commitment from Universiti Malaya since. In the last 3 years, 2013 to 2015, it witnessed a pronounced ex-plosion in its productivity in all aspects

As a national research centre focussing on na-notechnology and catalysis, NANOCAT has come out with a strategic planning in research grant application. With that in mind, the emphasis has been given to five niche areas of NANOCAT which are catalyst design, energy, chemical syn-thesis, and environmental mitigation as well as smart materials.

For a small number of academic staff of 10, NA-NOCAT takes pride to attract and supervise 86 postgraduate students (49 PhD and 37 MSc) where 14 of them successfully graduated in 2015 (4 PhD and 10 MSc). 85% of them with CGPA > 3.0 are study in NANOCAT under various financial aids and scholarship. As a global choice of research centre of excellent, 44% of them are international postgraduate students. This is indeed an achievement as part of the effort to promote UM at interna-tional level Besides postgraduate, NANOCAT also serve as centre of choice as industrial training centre from UM and other local university’s undergraduate students. This is due to the centre’s strong engagement with industrial and the students are benefiting from their training attachment with NANOCAT. In 2015, we received 19 interns [UM (10), UiTM (4), UIA (2), UKM (1), UMT (1) and UPSI (1).As centre of excellent in nanotechnology and catalysis, NANOCAT offered 3 short courses to local and international scientific community which also bring income of RM11,700.00 to the centre in 2015. We will further enhance this training platform in 2016.
