Malaysia is endowed with abundant natural resources such as natural gas, palm oil and rubber. It is the interest of the nation for these resources to be converted to higher value-added products via environmental friendly and energy efficient processes. Conversion of the resources from laboratory to industrial scales requires creative, innovative and systematic approaches from the reaction engineering field.
Chemical Reaction Engineering Group (CREG) is formed to conduct research and development (R & D) in applying the theories and principles of chemical reaction engineering to industrial processes. Our concerns are in the areas of reactor modeling, pollution prevention and applied catalysis.
Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Nor Aishah Saidina Amin (Prof NASA), CREG has established itself as one of the best group in the faculty and also the university. CREG, under the umbrella of Energy Research Allicance (ERA) has published numerous technical papers in journals and conferences, won a number of awards in related competition and holds some patents. CREG presently hold several research grants and continuously seek for more to progressively run and sustain its research.
CREG lab is equipped with basic and advance equipment for catalysis and reaction engineering. Please click here to view the equipment and facilities available in CREG.

Respected Sir
I am a pre-final year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute
of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, India enrolled in the four year Bachelor of
Technology (B. Tech.) program in the department of Chemical
Engineering. I am writing this letter to explore the possibility of a
research project/internship with Chemical Reaction Engineering Group under
your guidance for a three month period from May to July,2012.
I am a recognized scholar of my Institute with a GPA of
3.83(Department Rank 3) in my major, which inspires me to pursue my career
as a researcher in Chemical Engineering.
Currently I am working on “Textbook Companion Project” for Open Source
Software- SCILAB.I am working on the worked out examples of ” Chemical
Reaction Engineering ” by Professor Octave Levenspiel, Department of
Chemical Engineering, Oregon State University.
My previous projects include:
1)- Modeling and Optimization of Shell and Tube Heat exchanger based on
industrial parameters using MATLAB Implementation under Professor Tapas
Mandal, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati.
2)- I did an eight week Summer Project in Indo Gulf fertilizers Ltd ,
Process Engineering Department to “ Carry out Mass and Energy balance of
the ammonia plant and calculate carbon and hydrogen losses through
Ni-Catalyst.”
I believe your Laboratory can be an ideal setting for me to learn more
about the field. Please note in my curriculum vitae that I have a
unique mix of courses in both Chemical Engineering and quantitative
sciences, namely, mathematics, computer science as well as engineering
disciplines.
My detailed resume can be viewed from the following link:

I hope to find a challenging position in your lab and make good use of it
as a learning opportunity while making some contribution to your research.
Thank you for your time. Awaiting a positive response.
