معرفی
Dr. Jully Tan serves as an Associate Professor (Education Focused) at Monash University Malaysia's School of Engineering, leveraging over fifteen years of expertise in chemical engineering education and curriculum development. She plays pivotal roles in program accreditation through Malaysia's Engineering Accreditation Council and actively contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals via educational and environmental research.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, Universiti Malaya (research: life cycle assessment for microalgae production)
- Master of Environmental Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
- B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Dr. Tan's research centers on engineering education innovation—developing VR tools for process safety and gamified learning—and sustainable manufacturing, specializing in life cycle assessment of carbon/water footprints across palm oil, plastic waste, and biogas systems. Her work bridges theoretical knowledge with practical workplace readiness for multidisciplinary engineering students.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2022-2024) reveals dual thematic trajectories: educational technology (VR, gamification, digital equity) and circular economy solutions (plastic recycling, biowaste valorization, cellulose nanocrystals). These integrate environmental economics with industrial ecology, emphasizing scalable sustainability metrics for developing economies.
Her accolades demonstrate excellence in both domains:
- IChemE Malaysia Highly Commended Award (2024) for educational innovation
- Engage & Educate Digital Learning Design Competition winner (2024)
- Faculty of Engineering Australia-Malaysia Travel Grant (2023)
- School of Engineering Certificate of Commendation for Early Career Education (2021)
- Institution of Engineers Malaysia Presidential Award (2022)
As Primary Chief Investigator, Dr. Tan secures competitive grants including the 2025 Monash-Warwick project on ethical preparedness in engineering education and the ongoing VR-based process safety initiative (2022-2024). She mentors PhD candidates in teaching tool development and sustainable manufacturing while serving on national accreditation panels. Her leadership extends to organizing the Asia PSE Symposium and Malaysian Chemical Engineers Symposium, fostering industry-academia collaboration through the Institution of Engineers Malaysia.
