Biofuels and Bioenergy

Biography

She has graduated in PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2019 from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia and persuaded her Postdoctoral Research. She is passionate about research, exploring innovative ideas and depth knowledge. She believes that research and knowledge surge by sharing with others. She is forward-thinker, highly motivated, and solution-oriented Chemist/research scientist backed by the experience of over 06 years in collaborative (Industry & Academic) research in applied heterogeneous catalysis,sonochemistry, materials characterization via advanced tools with strong expertise in spectroscopies, and reaction mechanisms leading to the successful investigation of novel materials, conducted qualitative as well as quantitative analyses of chemical elements and compounds. Designed, synthesized, characterized and tested nanocatalysts at industry-relevant conditions for direct biomass conversion into biofuels e.g. green diesel, biodiesel, biogasoline, jet fuel, hydrogen and biogas production on high temperature and pressure at lab and pilot scale. She is emphatic and valiant science communicator making complex scientific concepts accessible to audiences of various backgrounds; excellent team player and strong builder of prolific collaborations in various aspects of basic and applied research > 08 research projects in collaboration with industry and academia, > 54 peer-reviewed scientific publications in high impact journals, > 04 research article under processing, 01 Malaysian patent Filed, 01 book chapter, 1 Edited book in process, Invited reviewer for more than 13 journals. Member of Scientific Societies; Presenter in conferences, seminars, webinars and meetings on scientific research. She is creative team player with easy integration in a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment with a unique combination of detail-oriented mindset, driven personality, analytical skills, and proven ability to manage projects by working in fast-paced research teams leading to the discovery of novel materials She has a high citation index with the research domain in the transformation of chemical processes from conventional energy to bioenergy, biomass to biofuels via a catalytic process. Particularly, catalyst design via sonochemical method and its applications in hydrodeoxygenation, pyrolysis, catalytic cracking, and aqueous phase reforming.
