Professor Dan Liu is a Professor at RMIT University whose research focuses on functionalised two-dimensional nanomaterials, nanocomposites and advanced materials for water purification, thermal management and wearable energy storage. Her work is strongly aligned with ICAN 2027 through the design of nanoscale interfaces and hybrid structures that deliver practical functionality. She develops materials systems where surface chemistry, dispersion and composite architecture control transport, energy and environmental performance. Her research connects advanced nanomaterials with real-world applications, making it highly relevant to ICAN 2027 themes in functional nanocomposites, sustainability and energy technologies.
