  Tsz Lok Wan started his PhD research in July 2022 on the topic of "Ferroelectric controllable gas capture and catalysis for environmental and energy application". His project aims to theoretically explore high conversion efficiencies and controllable chemical reactions which hopefully provide clean energy and drastically reduce or even eliminate environmental impact. Since commencing his research studies, Tsz Lok has already published 3 papers in Q1, where all of them are with him as the first author. His recently published paper was selected for Adv. Mater Technol. Back cover., Others, Australia
