Our research follows 7,547 researchers, builders, lab leaders and public voices through cited biographies. Missing career records can lower counts. Outdated roles can overstate current counts and change ranks. Publication numbers from OpenAlex, as of 22 October 2026. Career and profile data as of 22 October 2026.
We estimate that 7 people shaping AI have worked or studied at University of Malaya, all as former affiliations with no current roles recorded. That total covers 5 people with work roles and 2 recorded only as students (2 both studied and worked here). By all-time headcount, University of Malaya is tied for 501st among 3,127 universities (tied for 728th of 8,827 organizations overall). “Computer vision” and “Science, health and biology” lead 5 areas of expertise (2 each of 7 people with profile topics). In dated work stints through 2025, active headcount peaked at 4 people in 2015–2017, with the last dated stint ending in 2024. Across dated career transitions, we record 2 full moves in and 3 out, led by departures to Multimedia University (2).
