Senior Lecturer- Analytical Chemistry

    Biography

    Profile

    Dr Liu is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI), and the Queensland Representative for the Electrochemistry Division of the RACI. Her research interests are primarily in exploration of innovative technologies based on electrochemical reactions for environmental, biological and energy applications. The current areas of interest include the development of high-performance and low-cost electrochemical sensors using nanostructured materials, and utilisation of plasma electrochemistry for green synthesis, renewable energy and clean water applications.

    Research Opportunities

    Currently, we are looking for motivated PhD and MSc students to join us. Available research projects are:

    • Advanced materials for electrochemical sensing applications
    • Ion-selective sensors for environmental monitoring
    • Plasma electrocatalysis for removal of water pollutants

    If you are an Australian/New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident, you might want to consider applying for a Research Training Program Scholarship (RTPS).

    If you are an international student, you might want to consider applying for an International Research Training Program Scholarship (IRTPS).

    If you are a Chinese citizen or permanent resident and are interested in applying for a PhD or visiting scholarship from China Scholarship Council, please contact Yang to discuss an appropriate program.

    If you already have a scholarship from your country and are looking to obtain your PhD degree in Australia (or just spend some months in our group as part of your studies), please contact Yang directly.
