Biography 

A/Prof Shannon Wang is a research leader and educator in the School of Engineering at the Australian National University. She leads internationally collaborative research on energy storage and sustainable systems, focusing on affordable solutions for the energy transition, including hydrate-based carbon capture and hydrogen storage. Her work has attracted ~$3 million in competitive funding (ARC DECRA, ARENA, etc). She currently serves as Associate Director Education of School of Engineering. 

Current research interests
