Professor Ir. Dr. Chong has more than 18 years of experience in academic, research, consultancy and editorial works. He began his Ph.D. research by working in an ARC Linkage project (partners: AWQC, SA Water, Uni of Adelaide, Uni of South Australia) that investigated the feasibility of solar photocatalysis as an AOP for reusing the treated sewage effluents from Bolivar WWTP in South Australia. Shortly before the submission of his Ph.D. thesis, he was employed as a Research Scientist at CSIRO and worked on a number of urban water projects in Southeast Queensland that were funded by the UWSRA. He was a key researcher in the urban water team by leading on a range of urban water research activities, and later becoming a project leader for two CSIRO capability theme projects. After CSIRO, he joined Monash University Malaysia (MUM) as Senior Lecturer and later being promoted to Associate Professor and Professor. Currently, he is the Director of Centre for Net-Zero Technology at MUM. He has attracted more than RM 20 million in competitive research funding as both PI and CI from his research career to date. His research is also well-accolade with numerous awards, prizes and fellowships from various learned bodies, including Green Talents Award, Royal Society of UK Newton Advanced Fellowship, IAAM Medal and Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM) 2021. In a recent ranking study by Stanford University, he is ranked among the World's Top 2% Scientists in his fields of research (i.e., Chemical Engineering & Environmental Sciences) for 4 consecutive years from 2020-2023 (i.e., both for the single-year and career-wise categories). Professor Chong is always open to new research ideas and collaborations, as he believes that these are the key drivers for the creation of new innovations in this modern era. To date, he has published more than 200 publications in high-impact journals, conference proceedings, book chapters, and client consultancy reports.
