Qi Wen

Dr. Qi Wen is a Casual Academic and Research Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) within the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MaPs), part of the Faculty of Science. She holds a PhD in mimetic nanofluidic systems from Peking University (2016) and a Bachelor's degree from Beijing Institute of Technology (2009). Her research spans physics, chemistry, materials science, and nanoengineering, focusing on nanotechnology and interfacial physics. She has published 13 papers with 808 citations (85% in Q1 journals) and contributed to patented innovations in nanofluidic systems.

Education:

• PhD in Mimetic Nanofluidic Systems, Peking University (2009–2016)
• Bachelor of Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology (2005–2009)

Research Interests:

• Development of nanochannel fabrication techniques for precise control of size, shape, and surface properties
• Integration of nanofluidic devices into energy conversion applications (e.g., desalination, artificial photosynthesis)
• Optical system design and single nanoparticle tracking

Publications Overview: Her work emphasizes nanofluidics, 2D materials, and ion transport, with notable contributions to graphene oxide membranes, light-driven proton transport, and high-resolution nanochannel fabrication using SAXS at the Australian Synchrotron.

Grants & Supervision: Collaborated on an ARC Discovery Project (DP180100068) at ANU and secured funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Supervised three students (PhD, Master, and undergraduate) during her PhD research.

Labs & Groups: Currently part of ARC Laureate Fellow Prof. Dayong Jin’s group at UTS, focusing on upconversion nanoparticles and super-resolution imaging.
