He obtained his PhD from the University of Nottingham, where he began his research in sustainable bioprocess engineering for food and pharmaceutical products. His current research examines the utilization of algae biotechnology to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly methods for the synthesis of functional ingredients. Dr. Chew’s professional appointments include Associate Member in the Institution of Chemical Engineers Malaysia (IChemE), Graduate Engineer registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia, and Graduate Technologist registered with the Malaysia Board of Technologies. He is listed as the #5 author contributing research on the topic of “Microalgal Technology” on SciVal. ChM. Dr. Kuan Shiong Khoo is an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. His research focuses on the upstream and downstream processing of bioactive compounds such as proteins, lipids and carotenoids (i.e. astaxanthin, lutein and fucoxanthin) as renewable energy from microalgae biomass using various extraction technologies such as liquid biphasic system, assisted-liquid biphasic system and ionic liquids technologies. His research interest also involves in microalgae-bacteria consortium for wastewater, heavy metal, and volatile organic compound bioremediation, algae-based biofuels, and bioplastics, incorporation of Internet-of-things (IoT) and machine learning. He has published over 200+ journal articles (90% are ranked in Q1 journals).
