Brief bio

Denny Gunawan is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Particles and Catalysis Research Group within the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales. He is also affiliated with the Australian Research Council Training Centre for the Global Hydrogen Economy.

His primary research area focuses on improving photocatalytic solar hydrogen production through material design and reactor engineering. Furthermore, he has actively participated in several decarbonisation projects led by the government and industry stakeholders, conducting techno-economic studies for powerfuel technology and its applications.

Denny is also passionate about the broader aspects of sustainable energy transition, such as policy, financing, awareness raising, and capacity building.

Research capabilities

Photocatalysis

At PartCat, our engineered photocatalytic processes and materials efficiently produce hydrogen and reform organic molecules like furfuryl alcohol into valuable products, like precursors for jet fuel.

Photo-electrocatalysis

Using photovoltaic technology, we refine semiconductor interfaces, regulate catalytic sites, and optimise photoelectrochemical systems. This enables us to grasp reaction mechanisms and showcase innovative photoelectrochemical systems.

Techno-economic analysis and environmental analysis

Techno-economic feasibility studies are thorough evaluations that assess whether a project or technology is both technically feasible and economically viable.
