معرفی
Dr. Milton Chai is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, University of Queensland. He holds a PhD from the University of New South Wales and is actively engaged in research related to Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and membrane technology.
His research interests include:
- Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their applications
- Membrane technology for energy harvesting and separation processes
- Materials engineering for environmental and energy applications
- Chemical engineering solutions for gas separation and water treatment
- Photocatalysis and energy conversion technologies
Dr. Chai's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the development and application of MOF-based materials, particularly for energy harvesting (blue energy), gas separation, and water treatment. His work often involves the synthesis and characterization of novel MOF membranes and composites, with applications ranging from lithium recovery to photocatalytic micropollutant removal.
His research portfolio includes significant funding from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation:
- Visualising phase distribution of glassy metal-organic framework within polymer composite membranes
- Investigation of Melting Mechanism with Incorporation of Responsive Materials into Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Glasses
- Dynamic study of glassy metal-organic framework composite membranes for critical minerals recovery
Dr. Chai is available for supervision of research students and has demonstrated expertise in guiding research projects related to materials science and chemical engineering, with particular strengths in membrane fabrication, mechanochemical processing, and advanced characterization techniques.
