BIOGRAPHY

Chong Yang CHUAH is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Malaya (UM). He gained BE and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His research is dedicated to the separation process with the use of adsorption and membranes in molecular-based separation process. Dr. CHUAH's professional qualifications include being a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng) since 2023, accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), United Kingdom. He is currently involved in reviewing the Individual Case Procedure (ICP) to access potential C.Eng applications submitted to IChemE. He also obtained his Professional Technologist (Ts.) status in 2022 from the Malaysian Board of Technologist, Malaysia. He has also received several certifications, namely HRD Corp Certified Trainer in July 2024 and Aspen Certified User in Aspen HYSYS in 2023.
