Biography

Dr. Zhaojun Han is currently a Senior Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer at the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, which he completed in 2009. His research focuses on the development of functional nanomaterials for energy storage and conversion, particularly in the areas of plasma nanofabrication, electrochemistry, and advanced catalysts for hydrogen and CO2 reduction. Dr. Han is an expert in vertical graphene, a unique form of graphene that grows perpendicularly to the substrate, which mitigates the re-stacking issues commonly seen in graphene layers. His work has led to innovative solutions in energy storage devices, including vertical graphene batteries and supercapacitors. Over his career, Dr. Han has held significant roles including postdoctoral fellow at CSIRO and Senior Research Scientist, contributing to various projects related to carbon nanomaterials and energy storage technologies. His teaching and research are complemented by his involvement in numerous grants and collaborations aimed at advancing the field of nanotechnology and its applications in energy systems.
