We welcome our fresh PhD students, Mr. David Sendy, Ms. Kerstien Eunike Rupidara and Ms. Bolormaa Burentogtokh, in the group. David Sendy’s PhD project is to develop emerging solar cells based vehicle-integrated applications. Kerstien Eunike Rupidara’s PhD project will focus on engineering metal halide perovskites for next-generation optoelectronic applications. Bolormaa Burentogtokh’s PhD project aims to […]

We have just received and installed our brand new FS5 v2 spectrofluorometer in our laboratory. The FS5 v2 by Edinburgh Instruments is a high-performance, compact benchtop spectrofluorometer designed for both steady-state fluorescence and phosphorescence characterizations. This is part of the 2026 Griffith University Research Infrastructure Program (#GURIP) scheme at Griffith University.

We have successfully secured 2026 Griffith University Research Infrastructure Program (GURIP) grant and been awarded $171,541 AUD. This funding will be used to equip our lab with ‘Integrated FS5 steady state spectrofluorometer’ in 2026. We would like to thank all co-CIs including Dr. Sarah Walden, Dr. Liang Wang, Prof. Qin Li and Prof. Yu Lin

Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh is honoured to be a 2025 Queensland (QLD) Young Tall Poppy. The Young Tall Poppy award, developed by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science, recognises and celebrates researchers who demonstrate scientific excellence combined with a unique passion for science communication, which can inspire young people to enter STEM study and careers.

Ms. Namuundari (Namu) Otgontamir has commenced her PhD journey in October 2025. Her PhD thesis will be focusing on “External Stimuli Responsive Halide Perovskite Materials”, supervised by Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh and Dr. Sina Jamali. Namu’s research project will be co-funded by the United States (US) Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) and Air Force Office

Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh’s ARC Future Fellowship project application on “Engineering perovskite crystals for next-generation X-ray detectors” has been funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC), securing $1,129,536 research funding. This project aims to develop highly sensitive X-ray detectors enabling high spatial resolution imaging using low radiation dosages through advancement of new fabrication and engineering strategies

Selengesuren (Selen) Suragtkhuu – a final year PhD student in the group – completed the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competitions. Congratulations to Selen for receiving the People’s Choice award at Griffith Sciences group level (faculty). Selen’s work is in exploring windows that generate power.

Mr Ikhbayar Batsukh has commenced his PhD journey in February 2025. He is working on “Phase transition of metal halide perovskite semiconductors”, supervised by Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh and Professor Nam-Trung Nguyen. His research project will be co-funded by the United States (US) Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) and Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh and his colleagues from the National University of Mongolia and Taiwan National University have recently secured a research funding ($850,000 AUD) from the US Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG). Co-funded by the ONRG and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the project will investigate the external stimuli induced metal halide

Purevkham Myagmarsereejid (Puujee) has successfully completed and received her PhD at the graduation ceremony on 9 December 2024. Puujee’s PhD thesis focused on “Synthesis and Functionalisation of Two-Dimensional Materials for Energy Applications” Puujee is Dr. Munkhbayar Batmunkh’s first PhD student at Griffith University.
