teaching

Dr. Liew is actively teaching chemical engineering subjects. In addition to technical knowledge, Dr. Liew believes that developing soft skills is essential for undergraduate students. He is actively using active learning and project-based learning, as he recognises students require more soft skills aligned with their technical knowledge. To enhance the learning, Dr. Liew believes that students can learn by doing, and project-based learning can significantly help students explore new knowledge.

Research

Dr. Peng Yen specialises in Process Systems Engineering, with an emphasis on industrial energy and resource conservation using systematic algebraic process integration, optimisation, and life cycle assessment techniques, which are also applicable within the context of Industrial Symbiosis. He is currently actively working on renewable energy and hydrogen integration for eco-industrial parks and supply chain research, as well as engineering education for enhancing teaching and learning.

 Innovation

Dr. Liew leads innovations at the intersection of engineering, education, and sustainability—developing cutting-edge models for energy systems, transforming teaching through active learning, and empowering youth through national sustainability initiatives. From labs to lecture halls and community programs, my work translates knowledge into real-world impact. He strives to create solutions that are not only technically sound but also socially and environmentally responsible.
