Theoretical and computational molecular science: Molecular transport in nanoporous materials and at interfaces
Quang's research focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of molecular transport in nanoporous materials and at the interface between two phases.
Quang is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Bernhardt group at The University of Queensland (UQ). He completed his undergraduate dual degree in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at UQ. He obtained his PhD at the School of Chemical Engineering at UQ under the supervision of Prof. Duong Do and Prof. Nicholson. His PhD research focused on applying Monte Carlo simulations to understand adsorption phenomena in nanoporous materials.
