Miss Weng Yee Chong BSc

Postgraduate Research Student

Miss Weng Yee Chong is a postgraduate research student within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.

Weng Yee has joined the University of Southampton in 2013 through the Engineering Foundation Programme before commencing her undergraduate studies in BSc Acoustics with Music in the university.

Inspired by Professor Timothy Leighton’s research on bubble acoustics, Weng Yee has decided to pursue a PhD in ultrasonic cleaning after graduating with First Class Honours in 2017.

Weng Yee joined NAMRIP in 2017 and is currently working on a PhD project that aims to remove bacterial contaminants from salad leaves using bubbles and ultrasound.
