Chan's ambition is to make a positive impact on the environment through his career as a chemical engineer; through process engineering and optimisation of the battery manufacturing process or material design of next-gen batteries.
The School of Engineering is to lead two doctoral training centres (CDTs) to equip PhD students with key skills needed by the defence and security and renewable energy sectors.
Since graduation, I have worked in two different roles, one as an engineering consultant in the surfactants industry (Stepan Company) and one as a project manager in the specialty chemicals and fermentation industry (Lonza Specialty Ingredients). I have also obtained my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification in the last few years.
After graduating with the BSc (Hons) Chemical Engineering in 1989, Alex Radford has worked in many operations supervision and management roles in ExxonMobil as well as assignments in supply. After discovering that his interests lay in getting the best out of people and operating facilities, he took up his current position as Reliability Coordinator for both chemicals and refining at ExxonMobil's Fawley site.
