Senior Lecturer, Curtin University
Functional Nanomaterials; Nanophotonics; Renewable Energy
PhD (Uni. Of Queensland); MSc (Zhejiang Uni.); BEng (Zhejiang Uni.)
Dr. Qin Li obtained her PhD in 2002 from the Dept of Chemical Engineering, the University of Queensland, followed by a research fellow position at the same organisation. She joined Department of Chemical Engineering, Curtin University of Technology in June 2004 as a lecturer. In 2006, under a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship, she was seconded to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany as a visiting junior professor. In July 2009, Dr. Qin Li returned to Curtin Chemical Engineering as a Senior Lecturer.
Dr. Qin Li has broad base research and development capability in the field of functional nanomaterials, colloids and interface science and particle-fluid systems. In recent years, she is particularly interested in colloidal self-assembly and biomimmetics, photonic nanomaterials and their applications in renewable energy and biomedical science.
