Professor Madya Dr. Rahmath Abdulla is a distinguished researcher at Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi, University Malaysia Sabah. Their research focuses on Associate Professor Dr. Rahmath Abdulla, s research focuses on sustainable biotechnology and bioprocess engineering, with particular emphasis on the valorization of renewable biomass and agro-industrial residues through innovative Waste-to-Wealth approaches. Her work integrates microbial biotechnology, enzymatic biocatalysis, and biochemical engineering to develop environmentally sustainable technologies for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and other value-added bioproducts. Her primary research interests include lignocellulosic biomass conversion, bioethanol, biodiesel, biobutanol, microbial fermentation, enzyme technology, enzyme immobilization, and bioprocess optimization. She is particularly interested in designing integrated biorefineries that transform agricultural and industrial wastes, such as oil palm biomass, food waste, and other lignocellulosic feedstocks, into renewable energy, platform chemicals, biofertilizers, and biodegradable materials. More recently, her research has expanded to microbial resource recovery and the circular bioeconomy, focusing on the isolation and application of beneficial microorganisms for sustainable agriculture and environmental remediation. This includes the development of microbial biofertilizers, plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs), and biological solutions that enhance soil health while reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers. Through interdisciplinary collaborations with academia and industry, Associate Professor Dr. Rahmath Abdulla aims to bridge fundamental research with practical applications that support Malaysia, s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national aspirations for a sustainable bioeconomy. Her research contributes to sustainable resource management, renewable energy production, agricultural sustainability, waste valorization, environmental conservation, and climate resilience. Her long-term vision is to advance innovative biotechnological solutions that strengthen Malaysia, s circular bioeconomy, promote green technology commercialization, and support the nation, s transition towards a low-carbon and resource-efficient future. .

As a member of Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi, they contribute significantly to the academic and research community at UMS through their expertise and dedication to advancing knowledge in their field.

Professor Madya Dr. Rahmath Abdulla holds Doktor Falsafah (Ph.D) Kejuruteraan Kimia from Universiti Malaysia Sabah , among other qualifications, and has established themselves as a respected expert in their field.
