Dr. Mazura Jusoh is a senior lecturer of Chemical Engineering Department, Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering (FKKKSA), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, a member of the Separation Group. She has currently completed her PhD in University Technology Malaysia itself in the area of crystallisation of ice crystals a.k.a. freeze concentration.

Dr. Mazura has acquired her bachelor degree in University of Bradford, England graduated in 1999. Following it, she has pursued her Masters degree in chemical engineering in UTM itself through a course and dissertation program with dissertation titled ‘Crystallisation of RBD Palm Oil: Determination Of The Optimum Operating Condition Of A Pilot Dry Fractionation Plant’. During this research, she dealt with crystallization of olein (edible oil), which is also categorized as crystallisation from melt.

Crystallisation has since been her passion and she is constantly further deepening her knowledge in this area. Using the opportunity as a lecturer, Mazura is also active in research, a platform she thinks can establish herself as a crystallization expert, which she aspires to be.

She has been a project leader of a Fundamental Research Grant awarded by the university in 2004 titled ‘Effect Of Sodium Chloride Concentrations And Temperature On Crystallisation Of Lysozyme Using Micro-Batch Technique’. This has extended her understandings in crystallization from solution.

In her PhD research, again she undertakes the challenge of understanding crystallisation from melt, where she is dealing with crystallizing ice crystals from solutions. This is to concentrate the solution and also to produce ice layer with very high purity. This process can be engaged in treating wastewater and also in food technology during concentration of fruit juice or milk.

On 9 April 2014, my two students or my first product were come out freshly as graduated students in Master of Chemical Engineering under my supervision. They through out successfully in their research until the end of the day, their grab a Master scroll in a piece of smile. I’m gratefully proud of them because their manage completely finished their research. Below are their names and entitle of their research:
