Research
We make really interesting materials.ย Then we shoot X-rays at them to figure out how they work and how to make better materials.ย Click here to learn more.
Publications
Dissemination of new research is vital to the progress of technology.ย Click here to see what the team has published.
WHAT WE DO
Our group is interested in two things: 1) Uncovering the fundamental structural science behind what gives materials the properties that they exhibit and 2) using this information to make new materials with emergent properties.ย We strive to accomplish both of these interests through creative thinking coupled with rigorous study of fundamental science. Many of our students work in very collaborative projects, both within the Particle and Catalysis Research Group, across campus, Australia and beyond.ย We focus quite a bit on catalysis, but we donโt mind playing in other areas as well.
Thatโs a wrap on another successful XAS run ๐ฌ๐๐.Got some good looking data on 2D electrocatalysts and high entropy alloys ๐๐ซ ๐ค . Thanks to @squidroast for the huge assist โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ!!! Some hot stuff going to be coming out soon. ahora, es hora de irseโฆ ๐ฌ!! #betterwithfriends #electrocatalysts #nano #highentropyalloy #wheresmymojito #ontocartagena #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #dataordie
Attention!! We ๐ are ๐ looking ๐ for ๐ postdocs! ๐ฉโ๐ค๐งโ๐ค๐จโ๐ค. In collabs with our friends in chemistry and BABS, we are looking to fill 3 postdoc positions ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ, needing people with expertise in nanomaterials synthesis โ๏ธ, characterization ๐ฌ, protein engineering ๐งซ, and/or magnetic materials ๐งฒ. Please contact me if interested ๐. #postdocpositions #postdoc #postdoclife #magneticmaterials #synbio #dataordie
HEY!!! New paperโฆ in Advanced Materials ๐พ๐ธ๐งฑ!! Led by our mates at Griffith University ๐๐, Cr2O3@Ag materials were made with tip top CO2 electroreduction properties to make CO. Mechanism confirmed with in-situ studies and DFT, showcasing the importance of Cr in the process. Read the paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.202202854

Just wrapped at the Organic Materials Program review at AFOSR. Awesome to be back at #daytonstrong and to see all my old mates at #wpafb ๐โ๏ธ great review, tip top research, and good times yall. See you in a couple of months dayton ๐ซก๐!! #organicmaterials #canalstreet #airforcemuseum #ceramics #wrightbros #dataordie
โฆand beamline scientist of the year goes tooโฆ ๐๐ซ ๐คญ #mrcat #synchrotronlife #dataordie
CAUTION โ ๏ธ๐ โโ๏ธ๐ ๐ โโ๏ธ!! We are back at the APS doing more furnace work! We are watching Ti and Hf based polymers convert to ceramics in real time. Super rad ๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐๐ฉโ๐! The new set up at 11-ID-C is super refinedโฆ look at all those monitors and cameras (and that selfie ๐คณ ๐คฃ๐คฃ). Also, Chicago, you gorgeous ๐โค๏ธ๐ #furnace #titaniumcarbide #halfnium #synchrotron #synchrontronscience #cautionhot #seeyouintwoweeks #dataordie
Howdy yโall ๐ค !! Look at how much fun we are having at SXR beamline if the Aussitron ๐ฆ๐ท๐ธ๐ฆ! We are examining biosensor surfaces for VOC sensors, trying to determine what changes at the biotic-abiotic interface lead to a good sensor ๐ค๐๐ซ ๐ค ! Huge thank you to the staff at SXR for helping us work out the kinks early on ๐๐. #ileftearly #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #synchrotronscience #sxr #biosensors #nexafs #nocarbonthistime #dataordie
Now here is some cool stuff ๐. We are helping our mates from AFRL โ๏ธ with their in-situ 3D printing ๐จSAXS measurements @chesscience . Look at that crystallization front happening in real time ๐คฉ๐๐ฎ. Too much fun ๐ #3dprinting #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #insitu #PEEK-a-boo #passtheicecream #dataordie
New paper out in Nano-Micro Letters ๐ฌ โ๏ธ๐ซ!! In work led by our friends at Griffith University, Cl-modified Bi oxides were shown to be remarkably stable for CO2RR. The trick is to convert the oxychloride into the subcarbonate, stabilizing the more reactive structure.

Aloha ๐ค ๐ธ from the MRS Spring Meeting! What an excellent conference, in an excellent location! Awesome to see people I havenโt seen in years as well ๐ฅฒ. Posters from @haihackbarth and Yuwei (kinda), and talks from @bijilsubhash and some homeless guy in a Hawaiian shirt ๐บ. See you in the bit to distant future meeting (come on @materials_mrs ). #materialsresearchsociety #hawaii #posterparty #betterinperson #betterthansanfrancisco #betterthanseattle #waywaybetterthanphoenix #dataordie
Big shout to the Biotic H2 VIP team on wrapping up T1. Great job from everyone, especially considering all the issues this term. Yโall going to kill it in T2 and beyond #VIP #H2 #undergradresearch #biomass #dataordie
APR Season, T1 2022 is in the books! Good work and effort from all, especially Junjie, who gave his talk in 31.98 seconds ๐จ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐#phdlife #phdlife๐ #wearestilldoingvirtualpresentations? #closetofinishing #dataordie
