Biography

Dr. Ridoan Karim is a Lecturer at the Department of Business Law & Taxation, School of Business, Monash University Malaysia. He has taught and researched in the fields of business and international trade law.

Initially, Ridoan was fascinated by the policies and laws surrounding renewable and nuclear energy. However, he quickly realized that simply implementing clean energy technologies would not solve the world's problems. Driven by a desire to better understand the real-world challenges of carbon emissions and find solutions that would not harm the economy, Ridoan turned his attention to the topic of energy justice. He believes that the implementation and development of clean energy cannot solve the climate-related issues by itself, as we need an inclusive, equitable, sustainable and socially responsible energy system that can prioritize distributive justice. Thus, Ridoan is passionate about using his expertise to make a positive impact on the pressing issue of climate change through law and policy-making.

To this end, he investigates subjects such as just energy transition, the geopolitical challenges of energy, and sustainable financing mechanisms for low-carbon energy investments. Being a passionate researcher and academic, Ridoan has also widely published in peer-reviewed journals and presented papers at several national and international conferences in other areas of interest, i.e. ‘science, technology and law’, ‘privacy and data protection law’, and ‘Asian and comparative law’, etc. Ridoan had acted as a Consultant and Fellow in projects funded by the University of Malaya, Malaysia and Monash Data Futures Institute (MDFI).

Ridoan Karim holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Malaya, Malaysia. He also obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Chichester, UK, a Master of Comparative Laws (MCL) from International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from BRAC University, Bangladesh.
