Jason Scott

Dr Jason Scott is an Associate Professor, a Deputy Leader and also the Team Leader of Catalysis project in the Particle and Catalysis Research Group. He joined the PartCat group in 2002 and has gained extensive experience in particle fabrication, photocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. He also has a strong interest in developing sustainable technologies to address the challenges in securing Australian and the world's future energy resources and to tackle environmental pollution. His research focused on developing new materials, heterogeneous catalysis, and photocatalysis for environmental remediation and energy application. Dr Scott also has extensive experience in solid waste management, particularly in assessing the suitability of solid wastes for disposal at landfill and the use of refined leaching procedure.

Jason Scott have succesfully supervised/co-supervised 9 PhD students and 6 Masters student in the field of catalysis/photocatalysis and solid waste management. Currently he has supervises/co-supervises 10 PhD and 1 Masters students, and also supervises 25-30 undergraduate students (Honors thesis projects) over the past few years. He has been asked regularly to examine PhD theses in the photocatalysis area and requested to review papers from various international journals including Environmental Science and Technology, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A, Journal of Nanoparticle Research and others pertaining to materials, catalysis and photocatalysis. He is also ARC International Reader over the period 2007 - 2015. Dr Jason Scott has an H-index of 37, published 3 book chapters and co-authored 53 refereed journal articles.
