Bridging Engineering Professions with Students
"Nothing is a matter of waste if you use the materials wisely."
Turn ChemEng into a Noble Profession in Hong Kong!
Ayman Hoque - President
Hello everyone! My name is Ayman Hoque and I am a second year chemical and bimolecular engineering student. While having finished my education in Bangladesh, I have an upbringing in Hong Kong. I started my university life by looking at a possible biological wastewater treatment process. What started as a course project has grown to an independent research with our idea being presented in the NUS-AIChE E2S2 Conference and attending the green challenge competition in Denmark. AIChE has given me an opportunity to experience chemical engineering outside the classroom. Apart from studies, I enjoy gaming and read manga.
I look forward to work with AIChE, conduct new and exciting events for the upcoming year. If you have any suggestions for events feel free to contact me.
Ishita Kumar - Vice-President
My name is Ishita Kumar and I am currently the Vice President of the AIChE HKUST Student Chapter. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of this community, I have been able to meet and interact with many like-minded people who are all passionate about making a change at our university. I have chosen to study chemical engineering because I hope to work in the renewable energy field one day. Fun fact: I once made ice cream from scratch using sodium alginate!
Yongjun Kwon - Vice-President
Yongjun Kwon - Vice-President
I am Yongjun Kwon, Vice President of AIChE. I am a 2nd year chemical and biological engineer. I like chemical engineering because it is interesting to see how chemicals react and have different formation if we input in different temperature. I am a Korean American.
Pranjal Mathur - Vice-President
Hello viewers, I am Pranjal Mathur, One of Three Vice Presidents for this student chapter. I am currently studying Chemical and Environmental engineering and am stoked to be a part of this committee. I love communication and building networks and this opportunity is the perfect platform to establish professional relationships and contacts with the industrial complex. At the same time, I am interested in the engineering principles and science associated with the discipline. Yet again, AIChE is just the right means as it allows us to gain exposure on behalf and in collaboration with our department. I am also a huge fan of cricket which has a fair following around the world. If you don’t know what cricket is, it’s what the brown people are doing when you’re not looking. Cheers!
Maria Joscelind Alvina - International Liason
Hello my name is Maria Joscelind Alvina, a Chemical Engineering student. I think Chemical Engineering is very versatile which makes it interesting to learn. From toothpastes we use on a daily basis to transportations we use to comute, all need the role of Chemical Engineers to work. I am the Program Secretary and the Liaison of AIChE HKUST student chapter 2018-19. My jobs include managing the AIChE HKUST Instagram account (which is very fun:)).
Kishore Subramanian Kandasamy - Program Secretary
Hello my name is Kishore, I am a Chemical engineering student with a minor in sustainable energy engineering. Chemical engineering is a very interesting industry as it is used in every industry directly or indirectly. I am particularly interested in the sustainability aspect of chemical engineering particularly I want to focus on clean water and energy. My role as a program secretary is to provide new ideas for events for AIChE at HKUST and to organise logistics. I look forward to working with new members and the future chemical engineers.

Sricharan Poyyamozhi - General Secretary
Hi. My name is Sricharan Poyyamozhi and I am the general secretary of the committee. I am a third year currently enrolled in chemical engineering major and sustainable energy engineering minor. As someone who has been given a variety of opportunities through AICHE, I hope to pass this on to our members. In my spare time I enjoy reading and spending time in our UG commons.
Kristhalia Hadi - IT Secretary
My name is Kristhalia, I’m the IT Secretary of HKUST AIChE and my job is to manage online communication with members like sending emails and taking surveys. I have always been passionate to combat environmental challenges and I believe chemical engineers have a significant role to solve these problems as they are the designers of chemical manufacturing processes. Fun fact, I like musicals and I enjoy performing.
Siu Chun KWONG - Promotional Secretary
Hi I'm Frankie. I'm from Hong Kong and currently studying chemical and biological engineering. I chose chemical and biological engineering because I like bioengineering and how it apply things we learn to solve real life problems. I'm most interested in physiology and food processing.
Kazi Anisha Islam - Financial Secretary
I'm basically the person who handles all the money matters of the Chapter. I chose to pursue Chemical Engineering because of its contribution to the improvement of our lives in a number of aspects including healthcare, environment and electronics. You're most likely to find me browsing through a stationery store in search of the next notebook to add to my collection!
