Dr Muhamad Fazly Abdul Patah first joined Universiti Malaya in 2012 as a research fellow and currently serves as a senior lecturer teaching Bachelor of Chemical Engineering and Master of Safety, Health & Environmental Engineering programs. He received his BEng and PhD from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch New Zealand. His main research interest is in the production of chemicals and sustainable energy alternatives in the form of char/biochar, liquid fuel and hydrogen-rich gas from various low-value materials and unwanted wastes. He is actively supervising Masters and PhD research students in related engineering topics. 

 

His area of research includes:
Thermochemical Torrefaction, Pyrolysis, Gasification, Combustion and Liquefaction processes
Plastic, biomass, rubber and municipal wastes chemical upcycling to higher-value products
Ozone gas application for sterilization and water treatment applications
Catalysis, chemical reaction and reactor design
Hydrodynamic simulation of fluid flow using Computational Fluid Dynamics software
Liquid atomization/spray with and without reaction
Bioreactor design for medicinal mushroom mass production
