DR. NURDIANA BINTI NORDIN

Nurdiana Nordin received her B.Sc. in pure chemistry from the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2012 and completed her M.Sc. from the same university in organic synthesis and computational chemistry in 2015 under the SLAB scholarship. After graduation, she joined the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2016 under the supervision of Dr. Neil MacKinnon and Dr. Vlad Badilita in the group of Prof. Jan G. Korvink. At the same time, she also joined the Bio-Interfaces Graduate International School (BIF-IGS) at the Institut für Biologische Grenzflächen, IBG. She received her Ph.D. from BIF-IGS and the Fakultät für Maschinenbau, KIT in 2020. In Karlsruhe, she was trained in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology and clean room fabrication of microfluidic device processes. She also had the opportunity to visit the Bruker company, where the NMR devices are manufactured. She had extensive laboratory work that included electrochemical systems, microfluidic fabrication processes, bio-organic synthesis, and the NMR techniques. To pursue her interest further, she modified the microfluidic platform compatible with µ-NMR system to monitor the activity of simple metabolic pathway reaction. She has also recently joined the Department of Chemistry, University of Malaya as a Senior Lecturer. Her research interests include NMR development, catalyst modification, multiplex enzyme activity, bio-organic mechanisms, biomedical microsystems (BioMEMS), electrochemistry and metabolomic studies.
