Profile Summary

Nur Farhana Diyana Mohd Yunos is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Materials Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and a Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Frontier Materials Research. She teaches Engineering Mathematics, Dynamics, Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering, Engineering Alloys, Applied Metallurgy and Final Year Project. She also has carried out engineering testing and consultancy services with industries. She received a Bachelor of Engineering in Metallurgical Engineering from Universiti Malaysia Perlis in 2007, and received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of New South Wales in 2012. My research focuses on the investigation of recycling agricultural waste in Malaysia. I am particularly interested in converting this waste into renewable carbon material and energy resources for replacing conventional material from coal/coke for iron and steelmaking industry. This investigation is aim on how to reduce the waste in the landfills as well as reducing the cost and energy consumption in steelmaking since this waste is a true renewable fuel, so it does not contribute to the increase in the global CO2 concentration. In my studies by recycling this agricultural waste, I implemented pyrolysis and combustion methods to convert this waste into activated carbon and correlated with the physical and chemical properties as substitute or partially replacing the conventional carbon from coke/coal. I’m also managing a number of research projects funded by both internal and government bodies such as Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) on recycling agricultural waste as renewable carbon sources to control slag foaming in steelmaking. In university (UniMAP), I am currently supervising 2 PhD students as Main Supervisor.
