She has served in the government under\nthe Ministry of Education for twenty years and seven months. Throughout her\ncareer as a civil servant, Dr. Moe Thanda has served three functions:\nManagement, Teaching and Research. She trains her university students to be\nclever and outstanding in their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Dr. Moe\nThanda Kyi produced biofuel from agricultural residue (rice straw and rice\nhusks) at the Fuel and Propellant Engineering Department. Prior to that, in\n2017, she worked on a fuel research in Japan. Her research is on the\nDevelopment of an &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparatus for\nObservation of Fundamental Biomass Reaction for Myanmar biomass. In 2015-2016, she\nfocused in the production of liquid fuel from biomass tar by hydrogenation.\nThis research led to a collaboration with Gunma University, Japan in which she\nthen received the Energy Globe Award, National Winner, Japan, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her current\nresearch focuses on producing tissue paper from tea wastes. Tea is considered\nas the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. Tea wastes are\nusually dumped in the environment or landfilled, causing environmental problems.\nThus, tea wastes must be considered more valuable as there is an economic\nmotivation to prevent pollution. The objective of this study is to classify the\nproperties of tissue paper produced from tea wastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Moe Thanda Kyi is of the view that the key to create a sustainable future for STEM community is to continuously create and innovate in all areas.  Dr. Moe Thanda Kyi holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Mandalay Technological University in 2008. Her research was on the &#8220;Preparation of Zeolite Molecular Sieve for Ethanol Dehydration&#8221; .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moe Thanda Kyi Myanmar ASEAN-U.S. Science Prize for Women 2019 National Finalist\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VIgMr3oPO4A?start=26&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Moe Thanda Kyi Dr. Moe Thanda Kyi is currently Pro-Rector (Administration and Research) of the Myanmar Aerospace Engineering University (MAEU).
