Dr Rozzeta Dolah

Senior Lecturer, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Dr. Rozzeta Dolah, trained in Japan and is a Chartered Engineer registered in UK, is a senior lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, in Razak School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is currently a post doctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA with expertise in robust quality engineering for nanotechnology in renewable energy. Her area of interests are in microfluidic and nanofluidic transportation system for energy conversion from biomass into aviation fuel, with particular emphasis on the technical experimental design and optimization. As Minitab trainer, she involves mainly in process robustness against variation in order to boost yield and production of a system.

She also works in several labs and have lead the design and optimization of a biomass reactor for second generation pyrolysis for bio fuel conversion and adhesion in flexible packaging film. She has the access to a broad range of industrial application utilizing robust statistical optimization using Minitab. One of the industrial collaborations that she involved in are the reduction of CO2 emission in TNB Malaysia’s power plant using nano catalyst in marine micro algae photo bioreactor. A device called ‘NanoTier’ is designed and built and tested in the existing Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) photobioreactors (PBR). Novel nanomaterial as an effective adsorbent for CO2 capture, storage and catalyst for the microalgae cultivation is synthesized and packed in the NanoTier System. The dependant variables that are being optimized are the performance of CO2 adsorption capacity and microalgae CO2 fixation rate of NanoTier device in micro algae growth. The requirements are set to be exceeded 94 mgL-1 of inorganic carbon (IC) concentration and 1g CO2L-1 .day as algal CO2 fixation rate.
