Prof. Dr. Ir Dominic Foo is a Professor of Process Design and Integration at the University of Nottingham Malaysia, and is the Founding Director of the Centre of Excellence for Green Technologies. His work focuses on process integration, a holistic approach to process design, retrofitting, and operation that emphasises the unity of the process. In his research, Prof. Dr. Foo makes use of various process integration tools such as pinch analysis and mathematical optimisation to solve various problems in resource conservation (e.g. material and energy recovery), CO­­₂ reduction, and batch processes.

Prof. Dr. Ir Dominic Foo is a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), a Chartered Engineer (CEng) with the UK Engineering Council, a Professional Engineer (PEng) with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), and an ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer (ACPE), as well as the President of the Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChE). He is a world-leading researcher, named on Stanford’s list of the top 2% most cited authors, working in process integration for resource conservation and CO₂ reduction. He has established international collaborations with researchers from various countries in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Prof. Dr. Foo is an active author, having published eight books and more than 190 journal papers, and additionally having made over 220 conference presentations, with more than 30 keynote/plenary speeches. He has examined more than 40 Ph.D./M.Sc./M.Phil. theses in the UK, South Africa, the Philippines, Australia, China, Qatar, and Taiwan, and has served on International Scientific Committees for many important international conferences (PRES, FOCAPD, ESCAPE, PSE, etc.).

We wish the new Advisory Board Member every success in both his research and the development of the journal.
