Professor and Director of the Centre for Advanced Nanomateirals

My Research is focused on the development of new porous materials for application to broad range of areas including biotechnology, gas storage and separation and catalysis. This body of work has led to over 150 publications and ca. 25000 citations. Over the course of my career I have been involved in over 20 large scale multidisciplinary projects which have received in excess of $42M in funding from research and industry bodies including (the erstwhile) Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), Australian Research Council, US Department of Energy. In addition, I have led projects with PETRONAS global valued at ca. $3M AUD, with a specific emphasis on hydrogen storage, CO2 capture, and CO2 utilization

I am currently a South Australian State Government Future Making Industry Fellow at the Institute for Sustainability, Energy and Resources, and Research Director of the Scaling Green Hydrogen CRC bid (https://hydrogencrc.com.au/) which aims to become the largest single initiative in the country focused on supporting the vital scaling up of the emerging Australian green hydrogen sector.
