Jaharah A. Ghani is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, Universiti Kebangsaan, Malaysia. Her research interests are the machining process, cutting tool performance, and material characterisation, focusing on its tribological effects such as machining-induced grain refinement, and the performance of surface texturing such as dimples, using the machining process. She utilises the design of experiments, especially the Taguchi method, to reduce the nubmer of experimental runs and for optimisation purposes. She and her team have developed a dynamometer for measuring cutting forces in the machining process, and this complete system is known as Neo-MoMac.
