 Research

Dr. Peng Yen specialises in Process Systems Engineering with emphasis on industrial energy and resources conservation using systematic algebraic process integration techniques, which fall in the scope of Urban-Industrial Symbiosis.  He is now also actively working on renewable energy and hydrogen supply chain research through life cycle assessment, system optimisation and engineering education.

teaching

Dr Liew is actively teaching in chemical engineering subjects. Beside technical knowledge, Dr Liew believe that softskills development is essential for undergraduate chemical engineering students. He is also actively involve in the use of active learning and project-based learning. He believes that students requires more soft-skills development aligned with their technical knowledge and ability development. To enhance the learning experience, he believe students could learn by doing, which project-based learning would very helpes the students to explore the new knowledge.
