معرفی
Chunyan Fan is a Senior Lecturer at Curtin University's School of Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering. She is affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering and holds a position in the Office of the Provost. Her research focuses on adsorption processes in nanoporous materials, hysteresis mechanisms, and computational methods like Monte Carlo simulations. She holds a BE from China University of Petroleum (CUP) and a PhD from the University of Queensland (UQ).
Her research interests include the fundamental study of adsorption in ordered and disordered porous solids, development of novel simulation methods (e.g., Bin-Monte Carlo), and the exploration of wetting phenomena in low-temperature adsorption. She has contributed to characterizing nanoporous materials using advanced computational techniques and analyzing adsorption-induced deformation in slit-shaped pores.
Recent publications (2020–2025) highlight studies on CO2 adsorption in carbonaceous materials, microwave effects on water properties, and the role of pore geometry in adsorption behavior. Her work bridges computational modeling with experimental validation, addressing challenges in energy storage, environmental remediation, and material science.
Dr. Fan has received awards including the UQ Centennial Scholarship (2011) and the Dean's Research Recommendation List (2013). Her contributions span over 50 peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to adsorption science and porous material characterization.
