Associate Professor Ooi Chien Wei specializes in bioprocess design and biocatalysis, focusing on the development of integrated microbial fermentation systems and bioprocess model prediction tools for the expression of industrially important enzymes and proteins derived from recombinant DNA technology. His research incorporates applications of bio-derived ionic liquids, stimuli-responsive polymers, and the design of novel bioprocesses, bioseparation systems, and biosensing materials. Moreover, his work in bioprocess engineering emphasizes the development of food-grade emulsion systems and extraction technologies for food waste valorization to recover phytonutrients from microalgal sources and agrowastes. Ooi collaborates with industrial partners to develop smart hydrogels for glove applications that transform chemical synthesis routes through biocatalysis strategies, encompassing enzyme engineering and molecular dynamic simulations. He has published more than 90 papers in ISI-indexed journals and holds six patents pertaining to bioprocess technology and biomass processing. He has secured multiple research grants worth over RM680,000 as the principal investigator.
