Lauren Macreadie is a DECRA fellow and a UNSW Scientia Fellow in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales. She investigates how porous materials can be used to solve key energy questions around hydrogen storage, transport, and generation. Following her PhD completed at CSIRO and Monash University in 2016, she worked at Trinity College in Dublin on water splitting metal-organic framework (MOF) systems. Lauren then conducted research with CSIRO in Melbourne, focusing on MOFs as adsorbents for respiratory canisters in collaboration with the Defense Science and Technology Group. She transitioned to independent research at CSIRO and later became a Chemistry Lecturer at Massey University in New Zealand in 2019. In 2020, she moved to the University of Sydney to explore functional MOF materials on her DECRA fellowship, before joining UNSW in 2022 as a Scientia Senior Lecturer.
