Jolius is currently a deputy director of the centre of excellence for advanced research in fluid Flow (CARiFF) and Head of the BioNexus Pilot Plant (BNPPP) a role he has held since its inception in 2011 and 2009, respectively. Previously, he was a Head of Technical of FKKSA from 2009 to 2011. Jolius is currently an associate professor at FKKSA UMP since 2014, having first joined the faculty as tutor in 2004. Previously, he was a teaching assistant and a research assistant in the department of chemical engineering UPM since 2002. Dr. Gimbun specialised in computer simulation, mainly on CFD and population balance modeling. He has over 10 years experience in CFD, where he has been involved in a wide range of activities varying from algorithm development to complex flow simulation arising from his work at UPM, UMP and Loughborough. He had performed major CFD simulations on aerocyclone, mixing tank, bubble column, spray drying, spray freeze drying, gas-liquid stirred tank, ceramic filter and monolithic reactor for academic research as well as for industrial consultancy project. He delivers lectures in Bioreactor Engineering, Mixing of Fluids and Particles, Thermodynamics, Unit Operation and Chemical Reaction Engineering. Dr. Gimbun also serves as a regular referee for many international journals such as AIChE J., Trends Food Sci. Technol., Chem. Eng. Sci., Chem. Eng. J., Powder Technol., Separation Purif. Technol., Int. J. Mineral Process., Comput. Chem. Eng., Comput. Fluids, and J. Therm. Anal. Calorimetry, among others.

Jolius currently lead 7 active research grant with funding totaling RM261.5k. He was awarded the IEM best paper award for three times and a third prize in FMPSG IChemE UK student competition 2009, as well as numerous research awards from various expos. He published and presented over 50 technical papers in journals and conferences. His individual article was cited over 110 times with citations totaling 493 according to Google Scholar as of April 2014. Jolius is currently supervising 6 postgraduate students as a main supervisor.
