Curtin University 2025 HDR Scholarship - WASM: Minerals Energy and Chemical Engineering

This HDR scholarship is supported by an ARC DECRA project. The purpose is to support the PhD candidate to conduct basic research on “Applications of oxide materials for electrochemical water splitting and plastic degradation”. The key concept of this project lies in the design of novel oxide-based materials for water splitting and plastic degradation, which is anticipated to generate green hydrogen and to mitigate plastic pollution. The candidate is expected to show interest and enthusiasm in scientific research in catalysis, energy, and engineering and to develop knowledge in renewable conversion technologies.
