Augmenting Teaching with Augmented Reality: A Case for Chemistry and Biology in Foundation in Science
Dr Chiew Lin Yap's current main research interest is in converting oil palm biomass into value-added products, especially biofuel and fuel additives. She is also keen on developing new catalysts, as well as sustainable and green production technologies for the synthesis of various organic compounds. In addition, her research areas also encompass the development of green technologies for soil remediation which include various chemical and biological treatments and the impact of treatment on soil quality.
Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (2019-2023):
Project: Development of oil palm biomass-derived carbon cryogel catalyst for the conversion of oil palm biomass to levulinic acid in gamma-valerolactone solvent for biofuel production
Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (2015-2018):
Project: Effectiveness, selectivity and kinetics of novel biofuel production via ionic liquid catalysed conversion of palm waste to levulinate esters
