Rate My Professor Jonathan Love

Prior to joining CQUniversity, Love was an Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology from November 2018 to April 2024, serving as Academic Lead for the H2Xport project, which designed and constructed a unique 50 kW 'plug-and-play' flexible testbed integrating solar technologies, batteries, electrolysers, fuel cells, and hydrogen storage. In industry, he co-developed BlueGen, the first-of-a-kind residential solid oxide fuel cell product at Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited, co-awarding the 2012 Australasian Industrial Research Group Medal for technological innovation. He coordinates the Liquid Hydrogen Supply Chain Pillar of the Hydrogen Flight Alliance, leads the Hydrogen Production Working Group of the Australian Hydrogen Research Network, and contributes to international standards as a participating member in IEC TC105 and Standards Australia ME-093 committees on fuel cells. Key publications include 'Integrated Design and Construction of a 50 kW Flexible Hybrid Renewable Power Hydrogen System Testbed' (2025), 'Enhancing the Activity and Stability of IrO₂ for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction over a Wide pH Range using Electrodeposited BaO₂' (2025), 'Hybrid PV Systems – Optimizing CPV and SiPV Ratio to Increase Sustainability of Hydrogen Production' (2024), 'Thermal Management of Water Electrolysis using Membrane Distillation' (2024), and 'Energy Shifting in Wastewater Treatment using Compressed Oxygen from Integrated Hydrogen Production' (2023). With over 1,700 citations across 55 publications, his work advances sustainable energy solutions, supporting regional industry transformation in Gladstone and Central Queensland.
