Biography

Dr Yunxia Yang is a passionate and devoted research scientist. Since her PhD, she has published many high impact articles with high citation and was invited for journal reviews and international conferences. Her research area has primarily spanned from gas separation to catalysis with the focus on novel materials for H2 and CO2 utilisation and have led and am leading projects in relevant areas. Her research goals are to develop or improve materials as well as technology solutions in order to increase process efficiency.

To-date, she has co-supervised PhD students with local Universities and Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored postgraduate students, visiting scholars from overseas universities and postdocs. She also supervised undergraduate students and work experience students to facilitate their career development.

She has also engaged actively with internal and external collaborators in her research areas, developing strategic projects and external projects.
