Dr. Md. Arifur Rahim
A/Professor Md. Arifur Rahim
A/Prof Md. Arifur Rahim obtained his PhD in 2016 from the Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Melbourne. Following his PhD, he continued as a postdoctoral fellow in the same group focusing on the coordination chemistry of self-assembled thin films using natural polyphenols and transition metals. Then he moved to the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) as a research fellow, where he investigates the chemistry of liquid metals. In 2020, he was awarded a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) from the Australian Research Council (ARC, 2021 to 2024).
He is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (Monash University) and holds an ARC Future Fellowship (2024 to 2028).
His research career has been focused on contemporary aspects of materials science, physical chemistry, nanomaterials, and catalysis, resulting in over 70 peer-reviewed publications, two book chapters, an h-index of 33, and over two million AUD in research funding to date.
His research findings have appeared in highly prestigious chemical and materials science journals including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Chemistry, Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Materials, Advanced Sciences, and ACS Nano.
