Miin grew up in Terengganu, a small state in the east coast of Malaysia. After completion of her Bachelor’s degree Miin moved to Townsville to undertake her PhD with supervision of Dr. Andrew Baird, Dr. Bill Leggat and Prof. Terry Hughes. Her PhD project ‘Effects of climate change and ocean acidification on the early life history of corals’, aims to investigate temperature and CO2 stress on fertilization, larval development, survivorship, settlement and growth of juvenile corals. Her research focuses on the synergistic effects of near-future ocean warming and acidification on coral larval and juvenile ecology and how such stresses mediate their behaviour. She has graduated in 2013 and she is currently working on her collaborative research projects with University of Western Australia and University of Amsterdam.
