Over the years, she has successfully combined academic interests in both the sciences and management disciplines along with research and practical application in industry with her current focus being in the field of artificial intelligence and what this means for higher education, business and other sectors. Hence technology adoption is an area of research that she is currently engaged in.
Furthermore, Dr Malik has a particular interest in innovation and research, especially when informed by nature hence her enthusiasm for the field of biomimetics. She has been involved in an eclectic range of prototype development, typically deriving from a translation of nature’s millions of years of evolutionary test lab results (including in the life science sector). This work has been very much multifaceted in areas such as transparent armour and water harvesting having stemmed from R&D (encompassing discovery, evaluation, and assessment of ideas into product innovation and design) at the early stages right through to company commercialisation.
