BIO
- I received his Ph.D. from Curtin University, Australia, in 2011. I am currently a Principal Research Fellow at the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM), University of Wollongong (UOW), where he leads research in advanced materials characterization.
- I am a pioneering scientist in crystallography and battery mechanism studies. I use advanced techniques and large-scale facilities like synchrotron sources to improve our understanding of energy materials. I has published more than 200 peer‑reviewed papers and has been recognized with several notable distinctions, including an ARC Future Fellowship (2017–2020) and multiple ARC Discovery Project grants.
- I was honoured with the Australian Neutron and Deuteration Impact Award: Energy (2021), together with the Australian Synchrotron Research Award (2020), underscoring my outstanding academic achievements. My international standing is further evidenced by prestigious distinctions, including Highly Cited Researcher (Cross‑Field) Clarivate (2025); National Rank 154th in Materials Science, Research.com (2025); Ranked 38th at UOW, AD Scientific Index (2025); and inclusion in the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2021–2025).
