Chongchong Qi

Chongchong Qi serves as Professor and Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Molecular Sciences, The University of Western Australia, focusing on molecular-scale interactions in cementitious systems and environmental remediation. His work bridges computational chemistry with sustainable materials engineering.

Research expertise spans Surface Science, Material Science, and Environmental Engineering, with core investigations into cement hydration mechanisms, CO2 adsorption for carbon sequestration, and heavy metal contamination dynamics. Methodologically, he integrates Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations with deep learning algorithms to model complex surface phenomena and microstructural transformations in minerals.

Recent publications demonstrate strong thematic convergence in sustainable construction materials, revealing how computational approaches advance carbon capture in cementitious matrices and heavy metal adsorption processes. This work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals for climate action and clean water through molecular-level engineering solutions.

Qi maintains active research output with significant citation impact (h-index 43), evidenced by 77 research contributions including datasets on cement hydration mechanisms. His collaborative network spans international institutions in computational materials science and environmental engineering.
