Dr Arniza coordinates the IWK 307 course (Advanced Paper Technology – Instrumental Analysis for Pulp and Paper) since she first joined the school as an academic back in 2006. Besides IWK 307, she also shares teaching loads with her colleagues for courses like IUK 303 (Industrial Waste Management) and IWK 103 (Introduction to Pulping and Paper Making). In tandem with the needs to equip students with entrepreneurial skills, Dr Arniza Ghazali also facilitates the final assessment for WUS 101 for the school. In addition to these normal teaching loads, Dr Arniza also conducts research centralising around the alkaline peroxide mechanical pulping (APMP) techniques, encompassing both fundamental and applied aspects. Other than APMP of mainly non-wood, Dr Arniza’s research is also geared to the development of pulp derivative materials, as a way of maximising the knowledge of her M.Sc. research. She invites interested candidates to join her exploration as research fellow or graduate students. Besides teaching and researching, she's also an ardent fan of human building philosophies like NLP and ESQ.
