Overview
Background
Dr Qiao Yan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Polymer Chemistry at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on the design of functional polymers and supramolecular materials for environmental applications, particularly the selective capture of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. She combines organic synthesis and materials design to investigate how molecular structure, charge and hydrophobic interactions influence contaminant uptake. Her broader research interests include polymer chemistry, functional materials, molecular recognition and sustainable water treatment.
