Oliver Linder-Patton

Dr. Oliver Linder-Patton is a Grant-Funded Researcher (B) at the University of Adelaide, working within the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences under the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. His primary departmental affiliation is with Chemistry, where he conducts research on porous framework materials and their applications in industrial settings.

Dr. Linder-Patton's educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Science (Advanced) in Chemistry from the University of Adelaide (2014)
• Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry from the University of Adelaide (2015), supervised by Professor Christopher Sumby and Christian Doonan, focusing on size effects on flexible Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs)
• PhD in Materials Chemistry from the University of Adelaide, supervised by Professor Christopher Sumby, Professor Christian Doonan, and Dr. Kenji Sumida, investigating the influence of nanoscale structuralisation on catalysis with Metal-organic Frameworks

His research primarily focuses on Metal-organic Frameworks and other porous framework materials, with particular emphasis on their industrial applications. Dr. Linder-Patton's work bridges fundamental materials science with practical industrial solutions, exploring how these materials can address energy and environmental challenges. His current research involves projects with Petronas Research Sdn Bhd, focusing on CO₂ to methanol conversion and hydrogen storage applications.

An analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a strong focus on Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) and related porous materials. His research spans synthesis techniques, structural characterization, and functional applications, with increasing emphasis on catalytic applications, particularly for CO₂ conversion and hydrogen storage. The publications demonstrate an evolution from fundamental structural studies toward more applied research with industrial relevance.

Dr. Linder-Patton is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD students as a Co-Supervisor. His current research is conducted through a series of projects with Petronas Research Sdn Bhd, indicating significant industry collaboration and externally funded research activities.
