Scholarship Description:
Project 1: An Investigation of the Sustainability Practices of Organizations in Sarawak
This PhD will be part of a project that seeks to investigate the sustainability approaches being adopted by large organizations operating in Sarawak. Sarawak aims to be a developed state by the year 2020, focusing on sound strategic socio-economic planning to address the rural-urban gap and achieving development without overlooking the impacts of human activity (Sarawak State Planning Unit, 2015). Of particular importance to Sarawak is transforming their economic development through sustainably engaging with their natural resources. This has seen a number of initiatives being adopted in the extractive industries to help realize this objective. The Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) scheme, for example, is being driven through the Government of Sarawak to facilitate the transformation of their energy consumption into renewable energies. This includes engagement with very large public and private sector organizations to actively utilize their resources to achieve this vision through the development of clean and renewable energy.
Project 2: Data Analysis Engine for Medical Discovery and Prevention
This project will address an area of growing need within medical prevention, especially in the area of cardiology where there is a significant growth in the number of members of the public with cardiac diseases, but their medical condition often remains undiagnosed until it is too late for any preventive steps (e.g., special diet, exercise) to be undertaken. Using the historical data of patients with cardiac diseases, the main aim of the project is to develop a tool-set, associate methods and models that will allow for the identification of better early indicators of cardiac disease risks.

Duration of award(s): Scholarship is awarded for a period of 3.5 years.
