Rate My Professor Angnes Ngieng Tze Tiong

Dr. Angnes Ngieng Tze Tiong serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical and Energy Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Science, at Curtin University Malaysia. She obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering from Curtin University Malaysia and her Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Chemical Engineering with First Class Honours from Curtin University in Perth, Australia. She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Her professional journey at Curtin University Malaysia commenced in 2012 as an Associate Lecturer, progressed to Teaching Assistant from 2013 to 2016, Lecturer from August 2018 to December 2023, and she was promoted to Senior Lecturer in January 2024.

Dr. Tiong's research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Process Heat Transfer, Nanofluids, Waste Valorization, and Renewable Energy. Her scholarly output includes over 33 peer-reviewed publications, garnering 347 citations and 7,026 reads on ResearchGate. Notable publications encompass "Prediction and optimization of liquid dispersion of monoethanolamine in a rotating packed bed for CO2 absorption" published in Chemical Engineering Research and Design in 2023, co-authored with A. Zahir and others; "Numerical study of sago pith waste drying process in a fluidized bed dryer" in the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling (2023); "7E + Q analysis: A new multi-dimensional assessment tool of solar dryer for food and agricultural products" in Environment, Development and Sustainability (2023); "Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies on the Stability and Dissociation of Clathrate Hydrates of Single and Double Greenhouse Gases" in Energy & Fuels (2022); and "The Potential of Fe-Based Magnetic Nanomaterials for the Agriculture Sector" in ChemistrySelect (2022). Additional significant works include studies on supercritical fluid extraction modeling, valorization of waste glycerol into dihydroxyacetone via microbial fermentation (2024), and techno-economic assessments of hydrogen production from biomass sources such as rice husk and palm oil mill effluent.

Her research contributes to advancements in sustainable processes, including CO2 capture, biofuel production, hydrogen economy, and efficient heat transfer systems using nanofluids. Dr. Tiong also supervises postgraduate research students and engages in teaching process heat transfer and related chemical engineering courses.
