About Me

Dr. Lai Sin Yuan is an Assistant Professor at the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University Malaysia. She earned her BSc. (Hons.) in Industrial Chemistry and PhD. in Chemistry (Materials Science) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Following her doctoral studies, she served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow under the Nanotechnology Research Alliance at UTM. As a registered chemist and a member of the Malaysian Institute of Chemistry (IKM), Dr. Lai’s research focuses on valorizing bio-wastes and biomass into high-value catalysts, functional materials, and nanomaterials targeted at applications in clean energy, green chemistry, and sustainable food packaging.

Research Interests

ChM. Dr. Lai Sin Yuan’s research centres on sustainable heterogeneous catalysis and functional materials. She focuses on the rational design, surface functionalisation and mechanistic evaluation of heterogeneous catalysts, with particular emphasis on agricultural and industrial bio-waste (e.g. chicken eggshells, fish bones, biowaste-derived carbon) and modified nanostructures, for environmental pollution control, clean energy, high-value chemical synthesis, and food packaging.

Core areas include but not limited to: 

  • Waste-to-catalyst engineering and circular-economy chemistry, such as eggshell-derived catalysts for SO2 reduction to elemental sulfur.

  • Deep eutectic solvents in biomass extraction, energy efficiency, and the regenerative absorption.

  • Visible-light-active photocatalytic nanomaterials, including carbon-doped TiO2, graphene-based and quantum-dot materials for pollutant degradation.

  • C4 hydrocarbons to value-added chemicals over Keggin-type heteropolyacids.

    Biodiesel production from palm oil using biomass-derived catalysts and functional materials, such as barium oxide-reduced graphene oxide and biogenic calcium-phosphotungstate.

    Machine-learning approaches are increasingly integrated to optimise catalyst design and evaluate sustainability.
