About me
Dr. Duy Phu Tran is a Research Associate at the Future Industries Institute. His interdisciplinary research expertise is centred on the fields of nano and micro-fabrication, nanoelectronics, and microfluidics and his current research is focussed on the development of solid-state sensing technologies. Dr Tran has significant working experience in translational and industrial project compliant to regulatory certifications (CE, ISO).
Dr Tran joined the University of South Australia as a PhD candidate in 2011 to develop a silicon nanowire field effect transistor biosensing platform for point of care detection of cancer markers in patient’s biopsy. He spent a year at the Forschungzentrum Juelich (Germany), one of the world premier research organization in solid-state technology, for development of silicon nanowire transistor. He successfully validated preclinically a novel sensing technology designed to help reducing follow-up cancer surgery by detecting ultra-low amounts of cancer cells disseminated in healthy tissues within the time-frame of a surgery.
After graduation from the University of South Australia in 2015, Dr Tran spent 3 years working as a Bioassay team leader at RAM group DE GmbH, an Israel-Singaporean high tech medical company based in Zweibruecken (Germany). In this role, he was responsible for a small team developing industrial sensor prototypes to and providing technical supports to the company and client projects.
To date, Dr Tran has published 15 publications in peer-reviewed prestigious journals/conferences (53% first author), 1 US patent and secured ~ $ 350K of research funding and private industry investment. Some of his research has attracted significant media attentions (e.g. ACS Nano paper; J.Mat.Chem. paper). Dr Tran has been the recipient of 9 international awards/grants and (AU-DAAD, IEEE Nanotechnology, Young researcher fellowship...). As an effective communicator, he was invited to teach the Biosensor and Bioelectronics course of the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Master program in 2016-2017.
Dr Tran is actively engaged in his research community. He is regularly invited to serve as a reviewer for peer-reviewed scientific journals in his field (Applied Physics Letter, Biomedical Microdevice, Material and Semiconductor Processing). He is an active committee member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Convergent Bio-Nano Science &Technology (CBNS) and a member of the Vietnam Young Academy of Science.

Duy’s current research aims at development of smart solid-state sensing technologies relevant to a broad range of industries and end-users, including health science, biosecurity, food and environmental science. These developments are based on improved fundamental understanding of the physical structures - function- sensing performance of micro/ nanoscale semiconductor field effect transistor and intelligent data analytics. Current research interests are:
. Ionizing Radiation Sensors
. Point-of-care diagnostic in low-resource setting
. Electrophysiological Sensors
