Personal profile

Biography

Dr Jinqiang Zhang obtained his PhD in Perth from ECU’s School of Engineering on ‘Development of nanostructured photocatalysts for solar fuels production’ (2017-2021). After his PhD, Dr Zhang moved to Adelaide in 2022 to take up a post-doctoral position working on photothermal catalytic conversions of one-carbon compounds. In 2024 he was awarded an Australian Research Council Discover Early Career Research Award and in 2025 moved to UWA’s School of Molecular Sciences to take up a lectureship. At UWA his work will focus on developing nanostructured catalysts to convert sunlight into chemical fuels, such as clean hydrogen from water and high-value-added fuels from CO₂.
