Magnetic Nanohybrid Materials

Magnetophoresis and Colloidal Stability of Magnetic Nanoparticles

Personally, I find a lot of delight in mentoring pre-university students for their scientific project. It is a new experience for me and I’m pretty excited of getting the chances to interact with very young people. Up to this point, I have worked with numerous groups of student from MARA as a mentor for their scientific project. The overall learning curve is steep for me as I find explaining science to pre-uni students is much harder and challenging, but I am always welcoming any sharing opportunity. If you are a high school student and happened to have a really “cool” idea about magnetic nanoparticles and wish to pursue it as your research project, please kindly send me an email at chjitkangl@usm.my. Please spare me a couple of days to response back to you.

On March 14, 2015, in collaboration with Cooperate Social Responsibility Division of Shangri-La Resorts Penang, USM and YSN-ASM, JitKang engaged in an outreach activity by sharing his interest on science with a group of very energetic kids. Not only JK gives a talk on awesome science but he also did some very interesting experiments with the kids and explained the physics behind it.

JitKang’s outreach efforts was highlighted in Chemical & Engineering News (June 22, 2015 issue) published by American Chemical Society. Click (here) for full article.

Students from Kolej Mara Kuala Nerang (KMKN) get a taste of how research looks like in JK’s lab.
