BIO

Wenrong has a background of chemistry, specialising in molecular-level surface modifications to design materials and devices with precisely tailored functionalities. He leads a vibrant and dedicated research team comprising PhD candidates, master's and honours students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scholars. The team focuses on synthesising, characterising, and applying functional nanomaterials for biosensing and energy technologies. By exploring fundamental biomolecular interactions at interfaces, they develop highly sensitive, selective, and scalable platforms for biosensing, catalysis, and energy conversion.
