She was then appointed as an Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, in the same year. Later in 2011, she obtained her Ph.D in Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science from the University of Manchester, UK.
Her research interests are mainly in Plant Cell Culture Technology, Flux Balance Analysis, Kinetic Modelling and Simulation, Plant Secondary Metabolite and Natural Products, Bioprocess and Renewable Energy. She has taught various courses such as Cell and Tissue Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Separation Processes for Biological Products, Separation Processes I and Biopharmaceutical Engineering as well as the coordinator for Biotechnology Engineering Laboratory 2 (Thermodynamics), Seminar and Final Year Project 1.
She is the coordinator for Plant Biotechnology Laboratory and also a member of the Welfare Committee and Curriculum Review Committee in the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, IIUM. She has been assigned with several secretarial tasks in the departmental as well as the university level. Presently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, Faculty of Engineering.
