Biography
Dr Zongli Xie is a Research Group Leader and Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO Manufacturing and leading the Materials for Energy, Environment and Health group. Zongli's expertise includes environmental catalysts for industrial emission control and wastewater treatment, membrane materials and process for desalination and industrial wastewater treatment, e.g. the development of nanocomposite membranes for solvent dehydration and recovery, membrane distillation and forward osmosis for desalination and industrial wastewater treatment, membrane process for industrial steam separation and recovery, CO2 and H2 separation membranes. Zongli is well recognized for her scientific research both nationally and internationally. She has author/co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed journal papers (>9000 citation, h-index 56), 4 patents, 4 invited book chapters and over 30 confidential commercial technical reports to industries. She has been invited to give keynote conference presentations and has been in the organising/scientific committee of number of international conferences (e.g. ICOM, AMS, IMSTEC etc). Zongli has worked on more than 30 research and development projects with Australian and international companies in various aspects of advanced materials development, commercial scale production of materials, catalysis and industrial emission control. The highlight of the achievement includes the commercially scale up of the production of ceramic material for solid oxide fuel cell, and development of the catalytic deodorisation technology and N2O abatement catalysts. Her achievement has led to the CMSE chief’s innovation award (2009), Victoria University Vice-Chancellor’s citation award for excellence in research (2013), CSIRO Julius Career Award (2019), VESKI SidebySide Program participant (2020), MSA collaboration award (2021), Homeward Bound Global Women Leadership Program participant (2023) and iSPT2024 Distinguished Women Scientist Award (2024). She is currently the Vice President of Membrane Society of Australasia (MSA), a board director of Monash Centre for Membrane Innovation. She is also an associate editor of Separation Science and Technology Journal, and an invited editorial board member of Desalination, Scientific reports, Results in Engineering.
