Dr Nur Najwa Abdul Talib
Nur Najwa Abdul Talib hold a PhD in Advanced Materials & Material Science from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Her early work involved developing nickel-supported catalysts for benzene hydrogenation. During her PhD, she focused on lanthanum, iron, and copper-supported catalysts on halloysite nanotubes for the degradation of liquid epoxidized natural rubber (LENR). She completed the final chapter of my PhD at the University of Lorraine (UL), France, where she researched the effects of gas and pressure on the degradation process at the Reactions and Chemical Engineering Laboratory. This experience enriched her expertise in advanced degradation processes and instrumentation.
Additionally, she spent two years with the Centre of Fusion Reactor Team at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), working on the development of hydrophobic catalysts for continuous liquid phase catalytic exchange (LPCE) reactors aimed at hydrogen isotope splitting. This role allowed her to bridge academia and industry collaborations.
