The fellowship program supports the International Hydrogen Reseach Collaboration Program, which is led by CSIRO and supported by the Australian government and in-kind contributions from Australian Hydrogen Research Network.
PhD candidate Lucy Chen was awarded the CSIRO Int-H2 Fellowship, receiving $25,000 to support travel activities in the hydrogen space. Lucy has been presenting modelling work from her PhD focused on Hydrogen Trapping at Nb-rich Microstructural Features in Neutron-irradiated Low-Sn ZIRLO. She was able to find potential collaboration partners in Dr Mark Wenman and his PhD student Junting Zhang from Imperial College London to further investigate some of the modelling work, and she received funding to travel to the University of Manchester, where she will spend three months in 2026 performing experiments with equipment at the Royce Institute.
