Hualin Zhan is a physicist working at the University of Melbourne, Australia, where he received his PhD. He is an active researcher in the fields of ion transport, nanofluidic electrodynamics, semiconductor electrochemistry, nanoelectronics, condensed matter physics, and plasma physics. He received a symposium award from the European Materials Research Society and several scholarships from the University of Melbourne and other institutions. His pioneering works on transport theories of ions and electrons, solvation-involved nanoionics, machine learning–assisted modeling, liquid-gated Hall measurement, and direct 3D graphene fabrication open new opportunities for energy storage, desalination, neuron stimulation, biosensing, and materials processing, among others.
