Dr. Muhamad Fazly Abdul Patah first joined the University of Malaya (UM) in 2012 as a Research Fellow. Before that, he worked as an Assistant Engineer in Cerebos Gregg's Ltd. a New Zealand food & beverage company before decided to pursue his studies. He received his BEng (Chemical) and Ph.D. from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch. Dr. Fazly is currently serving UM as a Senior Lecturer and teaching Chemical Engineering undergraduate subjects including Chemical Process Principles, Reaction Engineering, Integrated Design for Chemical Engineers and Engineering Laboratory courses.

His main research interest is in the production of high-value chemicals/products and sustainable energy alternatives such as char/biochar, liquid fuel and hydrogen-rich gas from various low-value materials and unwanted wastes. He is actively supervising Masters and Ph.D. research students in related engineering topics. His area of research includes:

(i)                 Thermochemical Reaction - Torrefaction, Pyrolysis, Gasification, Combustion and Liquefaction

(ii)               Plastic, biomass, rubber and municipal wastes conversion to higher-value products

(iii)             Ozone production and decomposition for sterilization application

(iv)             Catalyst and Reaction Engineering

(v)               Chemical Reactor Design and Commissioning

(vi)             Hydrodynamic simulation of fluid flow using Computational Fluid Dynamics

(vii)           Liquid Atomization/Spray (with or without reaction) for Various Applications

Dr. Fazly could be contacted via email at fazly.abdulpatah@um.edu.my or fazly.patah@gmail.com. Alternatively, he could be found in person in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya.
