Biography
Dr Ianatul Khoiroh obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taiwan, in 2012. Prior to her PhD, she received Double Master Degree in Chemical Engineering from NTUST and Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Indonesia, and completed her bachelor degree at ITS. In 2021, she obtained her Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) from the University of Nottingham, UK. Ianatul is a fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and a member of various engineering associations. She registered as Associate Member with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), Fellow of The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining IIOM3), Graduate Engineer with the Board of Engineer Malaysia (BEM), and Professional Engineer registered with the Institution of Engineers Indonesia (PII).
Ianatul's research focus is on the advancement of environmentally friendly processes, such as the utilisation of bio-based ionic liquids for separation processes, supercritical extraction techniques, and the development of lithium-ion batteries. She actively engages in the study of complex fluids and advanced materials by utilising molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to analyse their structure-property relationships. Her research interests also extend to the field of carbon dioxide capture and sequestration and passive cooling.
Ianatul is a committed academic known for her innovative approach to teaching, which has earned her several recognitions in University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM). In 2021, she was honoured with the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FOSE) Innovative Teaching Award, acknowledging her exceptional achievements in the field of education. She continued to excel and was awarded with the FOSE Excellence Award 2022 in all three categories, namely Teaching & Learning, Research and Knowledge Exchange, and Professional Outreach.
