Dr Anthony Chun Yin Yuen

I am an Adjunct Lecturer at UNSW (former Lecturer from 2021-23) and am currently appointed as Assistant Professor, Presidential Young Scholar at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hong Kong SAR. I was a former Lecturer/Centre Manager for the ARC Training Centre for Fire Retardant Materials and Safety Technologies (Centre link: https://www.fire.edu.au). My research focuses on the development of computational material science modelling techniques to deliver in-depth characterisations of the atomistic physiochemical behaviours of nanocomposites such as interfacial and surface science reactions between molecules. In addition, my research also contributes to the fabrication of novel, bio-inspired and multifunctional nano-architectured composite materials. Now I am aiming to synergise my expertise to formulate a systematic, state-of-the-art fire assessment platform to effectively and physically describe the flaming and degradation processes, thermal/electrical conductivities, charring and self-extinction behaviours of advanced materials. I have been listed as one of the “Top 2% Scientists in the world” by Standford University. More info can be found at Google Scholar and my personal website.
