Biography

Dr. Asim Riaz is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the ACT-H2 program at the School of Engineering at the ANU. He has gain experties in metal oxides, 2D nanomaterials, heterogenous catalysis, thermochemical and electrochemical converison of CO2/H2O into H2 and carbon-neutral fuels. Prominent work of Asim’s research activities/collaborations have been published in reputed research journals Energy and Environmental Science, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nano Energy, ACS Catalysis, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, etc..

Through his research and development, he is passionate to help creating a cleaner and more efficient energy landscape that benefits both the environment and society. His current research activities focus on developing sustainable energy solutions towards the climate change crisis. That involes low cost and efficient solar driven electrolyser systems for green hydrogen production. In addition, he is working on developing efficient earth abundant electrocatalysts with facile fabrication techniques. He is also developing skills in the area of technoeconomic analysis and system level modeling of pilot scale electrolysers for cost effective H2 production.

Asim completed his Ph.D degree from college of Engineering and computer science, ANU in 2021. His PhD research focused on the mixed metal oxides for syngas production via high temperature thermochemical routes. His research interests focus on development and advanced characterization of new materials and its application to sustainble energy and fuels systems. He has gain experties in metal oxides, 2D nanomaterials, heterogenous catalysis, thermochemical and electrochemical converison of CO2/H2O into H2 and carbon-neutral fuels.
