Research Degree Supervisor

About me

I completed my PhD at the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany in 2004. After a short postdoctoral stay as a Marie Curie Fellow at the Institute of Genomics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Strasbourg, France, in 2005, I accepted a research position at the University of South Australia. I was appointed as a Senior Lecturer in March 2009. In 2010, I was awarded the prestigious Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. I was promoted to Associate Professor in January 2012. I have held positions such as Associate Head of School-Research (2012-2013) and Research Education Portfolio Leader (2014-2015). In 2016, I was awarded two prestigious fellowships i.e. the Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced... Read more

About me

I have been awarded research funding in excess of 20 million dollars. I have published more than 170 research papers, reviews and book chapters. I am the inventor of five patents which underpin technologies currently under translation to commercialization.

My research also results in translation of research discoveries to tangible commercial outcomes. A bladder cancer diagnostic technology developed in my laboratory is currently being translated to the manufacturing facility of the industrial partner. This commercial development is supported by a 5 million dollar (cash) from the industrial partner and the federal government. In another large (6 million dollars) project, I am working with an Australian implant manufacturer on translating a beakthrough antibacterial technology to hipe and knee implants.

In addition to four prestigious research fellowships, I have received various honors and awards. Most recently, I was awarded the John A. Brodie Medal for achievements in Chemical Engineering in 2016 and the International Association of Advanced Materials Medal (IAAM medal) for contributions to the field of Advanced Materials in the year 2017. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).
