Dr. Tan obtained her Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemical Engineering from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Her PhD topic focused on the upcycling of plastic waste into carbon nanotubes using an integrated pyrolysis system. One of her reactor designs for energy-efficient pyrolysis has received a certificate of copyright from MyIPO.
Upon the completion of her doctoral degree, she joined the Furukawa Laboratory at The University of Osaka, Japan for a plastic-to-gasoline research project. This experience strengthens her background in heterogeneous catalysis and sustainable energy production. Subsequently, she joined Sphere Corporation and contributed to the development of breakthrough technologies in the field of rubber machinery industries.
Dr. Tan is currently a Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak. Her research interests include sustainable waste-to-resources solutions, heterogeneous catalysis and carbon nanomaterials production.
Potential higher degree research candidates are welcome to enquire about postgraduate opportunities in the areas listed above.
