Career Summary
Biography
Ali received his Bachelor’s Degree in the field of Civil Engineering in 2005. He has worked in the construction industry as a construction engineer and site supervisor. His interest in engineering scientific research led him to pursue his postgraduate studies in the field of structural health monitoring at the University of Science Malaysia. He has been involved in academic research since 2010. Currently, he is doing his PhD at the School of Architecture and Built Environment. His PhD project focuses on incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) with concrete products for integrating into building components to reduce energy consumption in buildings.
He is enthusiastic about sustainable development in the construction industry, developing building materials and improving their properties. His primary research expertise lies in utilising recycled materials such as recycled glass and recycled concrete aggregates in concrete products.

A small studio room was modelled in DesignBuilder to evaluate the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, energy consumption and CO2 emission. The PCM composite with melting temperatures of 23°C was positioned on the roof and wall of the building model. The results showed that using PCM composite reduced the indoor temperature by 2-3°C compared to the control room model in the summer and winter. The more difference between outdoor and indoor temperature means decrease in indoor temperature fluctuations and, consequently, reductions in energy consumption. In addition, the simulation highlighted the economic and environmental benefits of integrating PCM into the building. The energy consumption was reduced by 33.4 % in summer while energy consumption was reduced by up to 7.0 % in winter.
