2017年7月8日下午，澳大利亚新南威尔士大学（UNSW）教授、化学工程师协会（I.Chem.E.)澳大利亚主席Prof. Rose Amal 受青岛科技大学生态化工国家重点实验室培育基地邀请，来我重点实验室作了题为“Low cost catalyst fabrication technique for improving selective conversion of CO2”的报告。化学院书记王德宝主持报告会。报告会前，化学院院长罗细亮会见了Rose教授，同Rose教授就国际交流合作以及研究方向动态等进行了亲切交流。

   报告共分三部分。第一部分主要介绍了澳大利亚新南威尔士大学和Rose教授研究团队的基本情况；第二部分主要介绍团队研究方向，即太阳能能源转换，包括光催化分解水产氢，光催化CO2转化碳氢化合物等；第三部分主要介绍了光催化剂的设计合成，包括二氧化钛多孔材料制备，泡沫镍材料催化分解水机理，以及氟掺杂和铁掺杂材料的优良催化性能等。报告结束后，Rose教授与参会师生就相关问题进行了热烈讨论。
       报告会后，Rose教授又就许多科研问题同与会老师们进行了座谈。

                                              Prof. Rose Amal简历

    Professor Rose Amal is a UNSW Scientia Professor and an ARC Laureate Fellow. She is currently Chair of IChemE Australia. She completed her PhD in Chemical Engineering from UNSW in 1991. Previously she was the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials (2010-2013). Her current research focuses on designing nanomaterials for solar and chemical energy conversion applications (including photocatalysis for water and air purification, water splitting, low temperature catalytic reactions) and engineering systems for solar induced processes, using the sun’s energy as a clean fuel source.

Prof Amal is a Fellow of Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE), a Fellow of Australian Academy of Science (FAA), Fellow of IChemE, and Honorary Fellow of Engineers Australia. She was named Top 100 Australia Most Influential Engineers in four consecutive years (2012-2015) by Engineers Australia.
