Biography

Yee Wen earned her bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering with First Class Honours from Monash University. She went on to complete her PhD in Chemical Engineering under the supervision of Professor Chai Siang Piao, where her thesis research focused on photocatalysis. During her doctoral studies, she served as a lead teaching assistant for four years, supporting the delivery of core Chemical Engineering modules such as Reaction Engineering and Thermodynamics. In the longer term, she is interested in developing a pedagogy-focused research direction aligned with applied learning and competency-based education.
