Biography
Ee Von is currently the Head of Common Engineering and a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Discipline, School of Engineering. Her primary research revolves around the flotation technology, in which she focuses on both flotation applications as well as the fundamental principles behind the flotation process including bubble-bubble and bubble-particle interactions. Research projects include remediation of oil-contaminated soil, oil-in-water emulsions in wastewater remediation, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) removal from aqueous environment as well as microalgae extraction via flotation. The latter research works include fundamental studies of bubble-bubble and bubble-particle interactions via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), contact angle and zetasizer, as well as laboratory-scaled experimental investigations. Besides flotation, her research work also involves heat transfer applications including ionic wind as an alternative heat transfer technology and bubbly flow (two-phase flows) to enhance heat transfer.
To date, she has received 3 external fundings from Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), and have published a total of 32 ISI-indexed journals. In 2019, she was one of the 10 recipients of the Australia-APEC Women in Research Fellowship.
Her recognitions in teaching has been seen through various teaching awards including PVC’s Award for Excellence in Teaching (2012), School of Engineering Award for Education Excellence (2020) and Faculty of Engineering Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2020).
