Dr. Chan Chian Wen
Project Engineer
He is a Chemical Engineer who graduated with a first class honour in Master of Engineering at the University of Birmingham in the UK on July of 2007. He obtained his PhD in Engineering from the University of Warwick in the UK on November of 2010. He proceeded to work in the UK for Sheffield University and Newcastle University for 5 years as a postdoctorate research associate. His primary area of work is process technologies (including process optimisation, energy efficiency and energy recovery) and renewable thermal energy. His secondary area of work includes wastewater treatment, food processing and agricultural value chain. He has experience working with clients/partners from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
He has a track record of combining diverse form of knowledge for innovation development. For example, he combined his knowledge in solar energy with that of food processing to win Institute of Chemical Engineers Global Awards 2015 in “Dhirubhai Ambani Award for Outstanding Chemical Engineering Innovation for Resource-Poor People”. His idea was “Multifunctional concentrated solar adsorption for food preservation and value addition”.
OUR EX-INTERNS
Isaac Ng
Chemical Engineer (2020)
Chemical Engineering student at Heriot Watt University Malaysia with future ambition is to become a process engineer in the food/ pharmaceutical industry. Currently, doing design and optimisation of sustainable value chain for animal feed in Malaysia.
Lau Siew kei
Chemical Engineer (2020)
22 year-old studying Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University. He is passionate about introducing and scaling sustainable development, with bio waste-to-wealth being his forte. He is doing this by applying the Food Recovery Hierarchy model (as promoted by US EPA) and UN SDGs (9 and 12 specifically). He practised his passion by being in a partnership that turns food and agricultural wastes into insect-protein based animal feed. His responsibility is to reduce energy and operating costs across this new process and new value chain to make this bio-innovation commercially viable.
