Financial Modelling and Economic Assessment of Emerging Low-Carbon Industrial Systems Monash University Malaysia in Malaysia

This PhD project at Monash University Malaysia focuses on the financial modelling and economic assessment of emerging low-carbon energy systems in industrial applications. The research aims to develop advanced frameworks that integrate system performance insights with techno-economic and cash flow analysis, enabling comprehensive evaluation of capital investment, operating costs, and long-term economic viability. By exploring various scenarios—including market variability and policy conditions—the project seeks to understand their impact on system performance and investment outcomes, supporting informed decision-making, risk assessment, and strategic planning for sustainable energy infrastructure.

The research areas span Data Science, Internet of Things, Financial Economics, and Chemical Engineering, offering a multidisciplinary approach to the study. The project is supervised by Professor C Chong, a leading expert in the field. Students will benefit from a stipend and tuition waiver, making this opportunity accessible to candidates worldwide.
