Dawei Su
Dawei Su is a professor in Applied Chemistry & Environmental Science at the School of Science, STEM College, RMIT University. He is the ARC Future Fellow (Level 3) and ARC Industry Fellow (Mid-Career). Prof. Su has shown himself to be extremely capable in both Teaching and Research and the interplay of theory, best practice, and experimental cutting-edge research. Dawei has a background in materials science. His research relates to advanced energy storage, conversion, and catalytic hydrogen evolution. His unique background allows him to integrate materials science and physics with chemistry and nanotechnology. This synergy combines his expertise in experimental work (synthesis, characterisation, quantitative analysis) and atomic-scale and electronic-scale theoretical investigations (quantum chemistry, density functional theory, and Ab Initio molecular dynamics).
He is leading the research programs (ARC DECRA, FT, IM, DP, LP, LIFE’s and ARENA, CRC, amongst others) centred on unveiling the material’s electrochemical or photochemical properties correlated with their electronic structures via the combination of in-situ spectroscopies and theoretical investigations. He has driven fundamental advances in designing chemically and structurally tunable materials and uncovering the impact of materials’ properties on electro(photo)chemical performance.
