Biography
Dr Hoseong Han is a postdoctoral research fellow at CSIRO in Australia. The research focuses on novel nanomaterial development for reverse electrodialysis. She has completed her PhD study in Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of Prof. Greg G. Qiao, Dr Paul A. Gurr, and Prof. Paul A. Webley and was awarded a full Melbourne Research Scholarship. Her PhD research focused on synthesising novel polymer materials and their applications including ultrathin polymer films and nanocomposite structured gas separation membranes. The key studies were new strategies for developing controlled polymerisations, fundamental investigations of polymer growth, and in-depth studies on the continuous assembly of polymers (CAP) technology. She received her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 2016, and a master’s degree in chemical engineering in 2019 from Yeungnam University, with a master's thesis titled ‘Studies on conducting polymer-based symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors’.
