Sook Yan Choy

Dr. Sook Yan Choy serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom, specializing in sustainable environmental engineering solutions for water treatment and biomass processing.

Her core research domains include:

• Natural coagulants development
• Advanced water treatment systems
• Microalgae harvesting techniques
• Biomass valorization
• Coagulation-flocculation mechanisms

Her work directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) through eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical treatments.

Publication analysis (2018-2025) reveals consistent innovation in starch-based coagulants for water purification and microalgae separation, with recent expansion into magnetic nanomaterials for agricultural applications. Her research demonstrates methodical progression from fundamental flocculation mechanisms to surface-modified coagulants and cross-sector applications.
