Colin Kang

Associate Research Fellow, Institute for Frontier Materials, Deakin University

Colin began his research career at Curtin University with Assoc. Prof. Debbie Silvester in electrochemistry. He was then awarded a PhD scholarship at Monash University with Prof. Doug MacFarlane where he studied fluorinated ionic liquid electrolytes for the electrosynthesis of ammonia.

Still in the area of renewable energy, Colin is currently working in the field of electrolyte synthesis for battery applications with Prof. Jenny Pringle.

In addition to the research, Colin’s interests lie in exploring the wildlife with outdoor activities such as camping and hiking.

Training

The Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.

Research

Working with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.

Industry

In close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
