Dr Christopher Larsen

Chris received his PhD from the University of Otago (2016), supervised by Professor Nigel Lucas and Professor Keith Gordon. He then held postdoctoral positions in the group of Professor Oliver Wenger at the University of Basel as a Swiss Government Excellence Postdoctoral Fellow (2016-2019), then at the Stanford PULSE Institute with Professor Kelly Gaffney and Dr Amy Cordones-Hahn (2019-2021). In 2021, Chris started his independent research group at the University of Geneva as a SNSF Ambizione Fellow, then joined the University of Auckland as a Lecturer in 2022.

From farms to fuel: turning cow burps into clean energy

MacDiarmid Institute science is staking out a future that enables our agricultural sector to continue feeding the world while tackling its thorny emissions challenges, with researchers tackling the methane issue from both ends - capturing the potent gas at source and converting it into valuable products for the future.

Dr Amol Jadhav

Amol Jadhav received his MSc in Organic Chemistry from the University of Pune, India (2013), and his PhD in Energy Science and Technology from Myongji University, South Korea (2018), where his doctoral research focused on electrocatalytic materials for water electrolysis. From 2018 to 2023, he worked at the Centre for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, Institute for Basic Science, at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, serving as a Senior Researcher and Team Leader (Visible Photocatalyst Design), and later as a Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry. His work there focused on earth-abundant semiconductor photocatalysts for solar energy conversion (including transition metal oxides and chalcogenides), using band-gap engineering, nanostructuring, defect engineering, and heterojunction design to enhance light absorption and charge separation. In parallel, he worked on developing durable electrocatalysts (including single-atom and bimetallic systems) for reactions such as water splitting, CO₂ conversion, and nitrogen fixation.
