Hi! I am Qiushi Deng, a senior PhD student within the RDF team at RMIT University. I started my PhD journey in 2019 with a focus on corrosion inhibitor study of zinc-galvanised surfaces.
ALUMNUS – Current LinkedIn profile including contact details.
I received both my Bachelor’s & Master’s degrees in Material Science & Engineering from China University of Petroleum. My research interest is in material discovery and property optimisation.
Skills
- Electrochemistry
- Surface characterisation & analysis
- Corrosion assessment & inhibition strategies
