Sustainable Materials and Green Processing for Energy Conversion

Kuan Yew Cheong is a Professor in the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). He specializes in semiconductor materials, electronic packaging, nanomaterials, and surface engineering, recognized as a top 2% researcher in applied physics/materials (2023). He has contributed to research on bio-organic-based memory to address e-waste.Prof. Allen Apblett is professor of chemistry at Oklahoma State University. He is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, the American Ceramic Society, and the National Academy of Inventors. He is also an Izaac Walton Killam Fellow. Among the awards that he has received are: 2018 Rankin Award, 2014 Oklahoma Chemist of the Year, Project Kaleidoscope’s Faculty for the 21st Century selectee, Oklahoma State University Faculty Entrepreneur of the Year, and the Governor General of Canada’s Medal. Prof. Apblett's research is the application of inorganic materials chemistry to the multitude of problems that are faced by industry today: improved methods of extracting minerals and recycling waste materials, the direct "one-pot" conversion of minerals to useful commodity chemicals and polymers, new catalytic processes, pollution prevention and remediation and novel processing techniques and products, including utilization of single-source precursors. Allen has over 150 refereed publications, eight patents and one edited book.
