Researcher biography

Biography:

Dr Hong (Marco) Peng is now Amplify Senior Lecturer at School of Chemical Engineering ,the University of Queensland (UQ). He gained a Bachelor's degree in Minerals Engineering and a Master's degree in Microbiology at Central South University, China followed by a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering at UQ. Before joining UQ, he had industry experience as a chemical engineer at Olympic Dam site and Newcastle Technology centre, BHP Billiton.

Research:

His research focuses on fundamental aspects of chemical engineering processes, with a specialisation in unlocking nucleation and crystallization phenomena via both experimental and molecular simulation approaches. He applies these understandings with projects on utilisation of waste resource as functional materials for water and carbon capture.
