Wanli obtained his PhD in Electrochemistry from Sorbonne University. Following postdoctoral research at Sorbonne University and the Central European Institute of Technology, he joined Curtin University as a Research Fellow in 2024. His research focuses on electrochemical phenomena at electrode/electrolyte interfaces in energy storage and conversion systems, particularly Li-, Na-, and Zn-ion batteries and electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis, with an emphasis on interfacial chemistry. He is also an active member of the scientific community, serving as a referee for leading scientific journals, including Nature Communications and Advanced Materials.
