معرفی
Dr. Qianqian Shi is a Lecturer and ARC-DECRA Fellow in the Discipline of Chemistry at the University of Newcastle's School of Environmental and Life Sciences. She holds a PhD from Monash University (2018) and has extensive postdoctoral experience in chemical engineering, leading to her DECRA Fellowship (2020-2024). Her research focuses on self-assembled plasmonic nanocrystals for applications in photocatalysis, sensing, and flexible electronics. Key projects include flexible artificial leaves for solar energy conversion, plasmonic bio-sensors, and programmable nanoassemblies.
Education:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, Monash University (2018)
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Monash University (2018-2020)
Research Interests: Dr. Shi's work integrates nanofabrication, plasmonics, and self-assembly to design functional nanomaterials. Her lab explores flexible plasmonic systems for energy (e.g., artificial leaves), sensing (e.g., SERS-based bio-detection), and wearable electronics. Recent breakthroughs include rootless duckweed-inspired artificial leaves and hierarchically resistive skin biosensors.
Awards:
- ARC DECRA Fellowship (2020-2024)
Advising/Grants: Supervision opportunities focus on flexible plasmonics and nanoassembly projects. Current grants include ARC DP-funded research on flexible plasmonic artificial leaves and collaborative work on binary nanoassemblies with Dr. Robert Chapman.
Labs/Teams: Her group at the University of Newcastle collaborates with Monash University and industry partners on plasmonic materials for next-generation energy and biomedical applications.
