Dr. Roong Jien Wong (RJ) completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Rose Amal at UNSW, Australia. He is currently a Research Fellow at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, and has a wide range of experience in heterogeneous catalysis research for renewable energy andā¦
Our group is focused on identifying design principles that will accelerate the development of new functional materials. More specifically, we have expertise in solid state materials synthesis and structural characterization at the average as well as local length scales. While we have traditionally focused on understanding how structural transformations influenceā¦
The Royal Society Industry Fellowship and Royal Society Entrepreneur in Residence schemes are currently open for applications. The Industry Fellowship is a great opportunity for scientist to work on a collaborative project with an academic organisation and an industry partner. The secondment can be held for up to 4 yearsā¦
