I received my PhD from the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of Queensland (UQ) in October 2012. After graduation, I joined University of Adelaide as a Research Fellow in School of Chemical Engineering (now School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials). I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2019. I am ECMS Theme Leader for Functional Materials, and Assistant Director of Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis (CMEC). I was recognised as one of the 40 Rising Stars by The Australian based on research performance.

Background

Australia has a natural endowment of sunshine and prevailing wind, and is now standing at the forefront of transitioning to renewable energy supported economy. South Australia is now leading the country with more than 50% of the electricity generated from renewable energy. The rapid expansion of generated renewable electricity can lead to both short-term and long-term benefits for our society; such as reducing million tons of CO₂ emission, solving the energy crisis, and potentially create huge revenues for Australia on the energy market (billions of dollars). The current bottleneck is the conversion and storage of the renewable electricity, where the development of catalyst materials is the most critical. My research aims to solve this problem by computer simulation, a powerful approach that can tell if and why a material is good for a specific reaction, and can design better materials which are different to the normal trial-and-error materials discovery process. Using hydrogen/carbon/nitrogen/battery as energy carriers and renewable energy as input, I am researching for better catalyst materials that can produce and utilise clean fuels that do not pollute our planet.

Methodology

The specific methodology I use to discover and engineer these catalyst materials is molecular modelling on high-performance computers (HPC). I build atom-by-atom models of these catalyst materials, and investigate the energetics of the reaction pathway for the generation of these fuels. Based on a fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms, I can design new catalyst materials that can convert more fuel from the same amount of renewable electricity. I collaborate with people doing experiments extensively: I build the models based on experimental observations, and I predict better catalyst materials for experimental people to validate. I also develop computational electrochemistry theory, to more accurately model the energy conversion process, and to design more reliable catalyst materials.

Publication Summary

The results from my research were published on top tier journals, such as Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, and Chemical Society Reviews. So far, I have published 64 journal papers and a book chapter, which have collectively attracted more than 14,000 citations (h-index of 41). Clarivate Analytics recognised 24 of my papers as 1% highly cited papers.
