\nBy Dr Farid Attar\, The Aust ralian National University\, Canberra\, Australia
\nAbstract: \;The Electrochemical Systems and Innovation (ESI) Lab at the Australian National University (AN U) develops advanced electrochemical technologies to support the global tr ansition to sustainable energy and environmental systems. Our research com bines materials science\, electrochemistry\, and engineering to address ch allenges in green hydrogen production\, electrochemical water treatment\, and renewable energy conversion.
\nIn this seminar\, Dr. Farid Attar \, a Research Fellow at the ESI Lab\, will introduce the laboratory's rese arch activities\, with a particular focus on developing scalable electroca talysts for alkaline and anion exchange membrane water electrolysis. The p resentation will showcase a range of projects across the group\, highlight ing our work on catalyst synthesis using solution-based and physical depos ition techniques\, as well as materials modelling\, process optimisation\, and electrochemical system simulation. It will also provide an overview o f the laboratory's research facilities\, international collaborations\, an d ongoing efforts to bridge fundamental research with practical electroche mical technologies.
\nThe seminar is intended to provide an overview of the ESI Lab's research directions while encouraging discussion and exp loring opportunities for future collaboration in advanced electrocatalysis \, green hydrogen production\, and sustainable electrochemical technologie s.
\nShort bio: Dr. F
arid Attar is a Research Fellow in the Electrochemical Systems and Innovat
ion (ESI) Lab at the Australian National University (ANU)\, Australia\, le
d by Prof. Siva Karuturi. His research focuses on the development of advan
ced electrocatalysts\, electrolyser design and development\, solar-to-hydr
ogen technologies\, and PFAS electrooxidation for sustainable energy and e
nvironmental applications. He completed his PhD in Engineering at ANU\, wh
ere his research centred on scalable catalyst synthesis using magnetron sp
uttering and the optimisation of alkaline and anion exchange membrane wate
r electrolysers. His work combines materials synthesis\, electrochemical c
haracterisation\, statistical modelling\, and COMSOL Multiphysics simulati
ons to bridge fundamental science with practical engineering solutions. As
part of the ESI Lab\, he collaborates with academic and industrial partne
rs in Australia and internationally to advance next-generation electrochem
ical technologies for clean energy conversion and environmental sustainabi
lity.
