The appointed fellows should be practising chemists with at least minimum 2 years of working experience within their area of expertise. Currently, we have appointed three alumni as fellows under this new initiative. They are Tai Chieh Hwa and Lum Jun Rong (PC1/11 cohort), who have more than 7 years of working experience in the cosmetics and toiletries industry as well as the scientific instrumentation technology industry, respectively; another fellow is Natasha Stella Tibon, an alumna from PC2/16 cohort, who presently works as an analytical scientist in a pharmaceutical company after her graduation in 2019.
By bringing real-world perspectives to related classroom learning, they can enhance learning and development, create career awareness, and develop workplace readiness (fitness-for-purpose).
