BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Muhamad Fazly Abdul Patah has been a distinguished member of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Malaya since 2012. Dr. Fazly obtained his BEng and PhD from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. His primary research focus is on the production of sustainable chemicals and energy alternatives, specifically through the conversion of low-value materials and waste into valuable products such as char/biochar, liquid fuels, and hydrogen-rich gases.

Dr. Fazly’s contributions to the field of chemical engineering and sustainability are substantial. His pioneering work in thermochemical processing and waste upcycling has established him as a leading researcher in the development of sustainable energy solutions. His publications and media appearances reflect the significance and applicability of his research, which continues to influence both academic and industrial practices.

Dr. Fazly is actively engaged in supervising Masters and PhD research students, contributing to advancements in engineering and environmental sustainability. He has been involved in over RM2.4 million worth of research projects, leading multiple national and international initiatives. The projects span several key areas including:

  • Thermochemical Reaction: Including torrefaction, pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, and liquefaction processes.
  • Chemical Upcycling: Transforming plastics, biomass, rubber, and municipal wastes into higher-value products.
  • Ozone Gas Applications: For sterilization and water treatment.
  • Catalysis and Chemical Reactions: Optimization of chemical reactions and reactor design.
  • Hydrodynamic Simulation: Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for fluid flow simulation.
  • Liquid Atomization/Spray: Both with and without reaction.
  • Bioreactor Design: Development for mass production of medicinal mushrooms.
