PhD (Hons) in Chemical Engineering | Biomass Volarization to Bioenergy and Valued Added Products

Profile Summary

My field of interest focuses in biomass pretreatment and upgrading to bioenergy and valued added products. All of my research publications were related to thermochemical conversion of biomass to liquid and gaseous fuels via pyrolysis, gasification, hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic cracking processes. I also have vast experiences in writing international research funding proposals including the Newton Researcher Links Workshop grant, Newton-Ungku Omar Coordination Fund Research and Innovation Bridges and Innovate 2020. I have been editing and proofreading academic/journal papers for my customers during the entire course of my PhD degree.
