About Chunyan

Dr. Chunyan Fan is a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Chemical Engineering within the WA School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering at Curtin University, part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. She obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering from The University of Queensland in June 2013, following her doctoral research from October 2008. Her academic career has focused on advancing the understanding of adsorption phenomena through molecular simulation techniques. Fan's research specializations include the fundamental study of adsorption processes in ordered nanoporous silica and carbonaceous solids, exploration of the microscopic origins of adsorption and desorption hysteresis, and applications of kinetic Monte Carlo and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations to model gas behavior in porous materials. She investigates topics such as argon and nitrogen adsorption in slit pores, CO2 adsorption in wedge-shaped pores, and the impact of adsorbent properties on pore deformation.
