My research interests are in the materials of energy storage with specific interest in electrochemistry and electron microscopy, crystallography of engineering and functional materials.
I received my PhD from UQ in Chemical Engineering in 2017. Since completing my PhD I continue the research in the area of energy storage materials.
My interests are in operando physical characterisation methods for battery materials, understanding battery degradation mechanisms in fast charging mode, and crystallography of engineering and functional materials.
