RegisterDescription
The extraordinary properties of 3D materials found in nature, including gecko fingerprints, nacre, bone, and other biological materials, place the synthesis and understanding of hierarchical structures at the leading edge of research. Here, I will present an innovative synthetic approach to build hierarchical nanoscale frameworks to generate a new class of 3D materials and demonstrate their significance for energy storage and conversion technologies.
About the speaker
Lucy Gloag graduated from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand with her BSc/BCA and BSc(Hons). She completed her PhD at the University of New South Wales in 2018 on the synthesis and characterisation of Ru-based nanocatalysts, before the commencement of her Postdoctoral Fellow positions with Prof Richard Tilley and Prof Justin Gooding. Her work on nanomaterials for electrocatalysis led her to an appointment as a Lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney in 2023. She joins the Research School of Chemistry at ANU to develop single atom and nanomaterials for energy storage and conversion technologies.

Looking at the universe through the Earth’s atmosphere is, for an astronomer, like viewing an art masterpiece from the bottom of a swimming pool. Presented by Dr Noelia Martinez Rey
Melting ice sheets and mountain glaciers are contributing significantly to global sea level rise. But how much are they contributing, how do we measure this, and do independent measurements agree?
Presented by Dr. Rebecca McGirr
We are currently in the early stages of a whole-of-economy energy transition away from fossil fuels and towards energy from renewable sources. Presented by Prof Kylie Catchpole
The panel will discuss their research and experiences in science communication and their careers as effective communicators, practitioners, researchers, or educators in the field. With Anna-Sophie Jürgens, Graham Walker, Merryn McKinnon, Rini Astuti
The Universe as we know it was formed in what we call the Big Bang, and has been expanding ever since.
Presented by Prof Brian Schmidt
Scientists have long sought to understand the origins of biological complexity, including what makes us, as humans, such complex beings.
