The research award ceremony was graced by DYMM Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Zara Salim, who is an alumna of The University of Nottingham.

Dr Show is an Associate Professor at UNMC and holds a PhD in bioprocess engineering. His research is specifically in bioseparation engineering, which deals with the scientific and engineering principles involved in large-scale separation and purification of biological products.

He has published two book chapters, more than 33 research journal papers, presented five research papers at international conferences and obtained a patent. He is serving on the international scientific committees of international conference, including the Environmental Research Colloquium for 2013, 2015 and 2017, 22nd International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering (CHISA 2016), 19th Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction (PRES 2016) and 22nd International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering (CHISA 2016).

He is the primary researcher for 12 grants projects, and reviews for 50 peer-reviewed journals.

His excellent research performance won him the Platinum Research Award in 2013, 2014 and 2015 from the University of Nottingham’s Research Division.

“Research also drives our teaching curricula, to contribute to capacity but also to develop the next generation of global citizens and leaders. Our students, at the undergraduate, masters and PhD level are taught and supervised by staff who are world-leading in their disciplines and research,” Professor O’Malley said.

Notes to editors: The University of Nottingham has 43,000 students and is ‘the nearest Britain has to a truly global university, with a “distinct” approach to internationalisation, which rests on those full-scale campuses in China and Malaysia, as well as a large presence in its home city.’ (Times Good University Guide 2016). It is also one of the most popular universities in the UK among graduate employers and the winner of ‘Outstanding Support for Early Career Researchers’ at the Times Higher Education Awards 2015. More than 97% of research at The University of Nottingham is recognised internationally and it is 8th in the UK by research power according to the Research Excellence Framework 2014. It has been voted the world’s greenest campus for four years running, according to Greenmetrics Ranking of World Universities.

Impact: The Nottingham Campaign, its biggest-ever fundraising campaign, is delivering the University’s vision to change lives, tackle global issues and shape the future.
