Prof. Nyuk Ling Chin
Departmen of Process and Food Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia
Biography: Nyuk Ling Chin obtained her Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), United Kingdom at the age of 26. She is now a Professor with the Department of Process and Food Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia. She is a registered professional food engineer with Board of Engineers Malaysia and a chartered chemical engineer with Institute of Chemical Engineer, UK. She lectures on food engineering operations and systems. Her research is on physical and engineering properties of food and natural products with aims of structuring food tailored towards end-user functionality for improved texture, appearance, perception, shelf life stability, consumer acceptability and healthiness. Her focus operations include mixing, heating, baking, spray-drying, freeze-drying and extraction where physical properties including rheological aspects are studied fundamentally. Her most recent projects are on food authentication; in particular, honey and bird nest origin traceability. She has 125 journals published. She receives recognitions from the many professional services rendered being an invited foreign lecturer, an editor of Journal of Food and Bioproducts Processing and others, an invited speaker in local and international conferences and seminars, a panel judge for research competitions, a panel reviewer for research grant proposals, a panel examiner for curriculum and programme reviews, and a visiting professor to other institutions.
