Jiazhao Wang

Professor Jiazhao Wang is an Honorary Professor at the University of Wollongong's Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM), part of the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM). She holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry and advanced degrees (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) in Materials Engineering. Her research focuses on advanced battery technologies, including lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and metal-air batteries, with emphasis on electrode materials and electrocatalysis.

She has secured over 30 research grants, including 24 Australian Research Council (ARC) grants as Chief Investigator. Notable recognitions include being a Highly Cited Researcher (2018) and a Royal Society of Chemistry Fellow. She has supervised 32 Ph.D. and 3 Master’s students, with 30 graduates.

Her work addresses challenges in energy storage systems, such as battery lifespan, thermal stability, and material degradation. Recent research highlights include developing stable sodium metal batteries, improving Prussian blue analogues for sodium-ion applications, and advancing solid-state electrolyte interfaces. She serves as an Associate Editor of Energy Materials and frequently presents at international conferences.
