School of Chemistry
I am a PhD candidate nearing graduation at the School of Chemistry, University of New South Wales. My research focuses on computational and experimental electrochemistry for advanced fuel cells and energy conversion. My expertise includes rationally designing and synthesising perovskite oxides and dual- and single-atom catalysts, and applying density functional theory, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to elucidate structure–property relationships and reaction mechanisms.
