Biography
Dr. Jully Tan obtained her first degree in Chemical Engineering and Master of Environmental Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). She then obtained Ph.D. from Universiti Malaya, research focuses in life cycle assessment and optimization for microalgae production.
Dr Jully has significant and sustained experience in engineering education, demonstrating leadership in curriculum design, teaching innovation, and academic practice. She played significant role in leading the program curriculum development, design and review as well as matters related to accreditation. She is passionate to diverse research in the area of engineering education. This drew her to take up responsibility as senior lecturer, education focused in the School of Engineering.
Research interests
Jully’s currently focuses engineering education research, which aims to initiate, discovery and innovation in engineering teaching and learning, specifically in Chemical Engineering discipline. She is also interested to look into complex engineering activities and problem solutions among multidisciplinary students in preparing them to enter the dynamic and rapid change of workplace.
Jully also contributes in sustainable development. Area of research includes the study of different chemical and or manufacturing production, its process selections analysis and life cycle assessment, and life cycle optimization which focus on environmental impacts (carbon footprint, water footprint, energy footprint and etc.) contributes from different process technologies.
