Abstract
Chemistry is omnipresent in our lives. We have chemical reactions going on in our bodies. We eat foods that undergo a chemical reaction. We live, sleep and play with chemistry around us. Just what is chemistry and how do you go about equipping yourself with this wonderful knowledge? Is there physics in chemistry? Or is there chemistry in physics? Bio in chemistry or vice versa? How does mathematics play in this equation? What about AI? What about robotics? I will talk about the latest and potentially greatest developments in chemistry. The weird, the wonderful and the wild. Stay tuned.
Background of the speaker
Professor Loh completed his basic and postgraduate studies at the National University of Singapore. A polymer chemist by training, he is currently the Executive Director of the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) and President of the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry (SNIC).
As a pioneer and recognised global expert in the area of biodegradable thermogels, he is highly knowledgeable in developing these materials for various applications spanning biomedical, engineering, cosmetics, personal care and food. His scientific contributions have earned him the position of Fellowship in Fitzwiliam College in the University of Cambridge, Fellowship in the Royal Society of Chemistry, Fellowship in IOM3 - The Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining and Fellowship of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. He is also awarded the Highly Cited Researcher Award by Clarivate Analytics. He is also the current President and member of the Executive Committee of the Singapore National Institute of Chemistry. He was awarded The Public Administration Medal (Silver) in the National Awards (COVID-19) in 2022.
With his extensive experience in authoring >400 journal papers, 38 patents and know-hows, more than 30 book chapters and 7 books, he currently sits on several editorial boards of international journals as an expert in his area. His H-index stands at 108 and his publications has amassed more than 40000 citations. He has also successfully helped in the commercialisation of 8 different products and is always interested in the translation of science to products. He is the founder of Vitreogel Innovations Inc, a company specializing in the development of thermogels as vitreous endotamponades.
