Prof Linda Zou

Full description

Professor Linda Zou received her PhD in chemistry from Monash University (1998). Her main research contributions are in the fields of novel nanomaterials synthesis, including ordered mesoporous carbons, conductive graphene nano-sheets and visible light sensitive TiO2/prorous adsorbent nano-composites, and their application to solve "real world" problems, in desalination and water purification. In desalination research, Dr Zou has focused on applying nanotechnology in low energy alternative desalination methods. Her contribution in developing novel carbons electrode materials in capacitive deionisation process has achieved greatly improved electrode efficiency and is received recognition internationally. Her recent research work involves on developing novel membrane surfaces for low biofouling. From 2000 until now, Professor Linda Zou has been successful in receiving ten national competitive ARC grants and National Centre of Excellence in Desalination (NCED) grants. She currently leads one Discovery project and three NCED funded research projects. Her research outcomes have been well published on peer reviewed international journals and she is a regular presenter at prestige International Water Association Conferences. She is the main inventor of one international patent and three provisional patents, and has attracted substantial funding for industrial related R & D.
