Research Background

Dr. Norilmi Amilia binti Ismail is a Senior Lecturer and core aerospace researcher attached to the School of Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. She completed her undergraduate foundational training with a B.Eng. in Aerospace Engineering from USM before advancing her studies at the University of Glasgow, UK, where she earned her M.Sc. in Space Mission Analysis and Design followed by her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. Her technical background encompasses satellite architecture, space mission dynamics, systems configuration, and vibration engineering, with prominent focus on high-altitude platform analysis and localized wind-induced acoustic profiling.
