Assoc. Professor Dr Abd Nasir Matori obtained his PhD from University of Newcastle upon Tyne UK in 1996. Over almost 15 years in academia Dr Nasir has specialised in geodesy and geospatial analysis for several engineering applications such as offshore platform subsidence and structural monitoring.

Dr Nasir is currently a faculty member of Civil Engineering Department at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as well as the member of the Offshore Engineering Centre of UTP (OECU).
He is actively engaging PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) as well as the offshore engineering entities in redefining and optimizing offshore structure deformation monitoring. As a strong proponent on blue ocean strategy, Dr Nasir believes that there are still many untapped potentials in offshore engineering and have made several re-definition on offshore positioning practice.

Ever wonder why boundary dispute between countries happens? Even in the era of GPS accidental intrusions to neighbouring countries do happen to amongst others fishermen and pipeline routing, does latitude and longitude are all we need to fix our position? Why my road aligning ventures into Thailand? Why my platform is suddenly in Indonesian water? Could I believe my GPS coordinates? Don’t miss the answers of the issues posed above in this 1-day refresher course of ‘Introduction of Offshore Positioning’.
