Jeng Yi Chong is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the University of Southampton's School of Chemistry, joining in January 2024. His academic career focuses on innovating membrane technology for advanced separation processes and future sustainability solutions.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London, UK (2018)
- MSc (Research) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta, Canada (2013)
- BEng (First Class Honours) in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore (2011)
Dr. Chong's research centers on membrane technology development for molecular separation processes. His work spans creating novel membranes for challenging separations, designing functional nanoporous materials including polymeric thin films and porous-organic frameworks, and developing ion-selective membranes for energy applications. His research increasingly incorporates machine learning approaches to optimize membrane performance and predict separation outcomes. He also investigates nanostructured materials for energy storage applications, particularly for redox flow batteries and electrochemical separation systems.
His publication record demonstrates consistent high-impact research in membrane science, with recent work focusing on polyamide-ceramic composites for high-temperature applications, covalent organic framework membranes, and machine learning applications in membrane performance prediction. His research bridges fundamental materials science with practical applications in water treatment and sustainable separation technologies.
His notable recognition includes:
- NTU Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship (2021)
Dr. Chong actively supervises PhD students and teaches CHEG3004 - Chemical Engineering for the Pharmaceutical Sector. Prior to his position at Southampton, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Singapore Membrane Technology Centre, NTU (2018-2021), where he developed expertise in membrane fabrication and characterization. His current research program continues to push the boundaries of membrane technology for sustainable separation processes.
