117 research articles) in top international journals, and a strong history of successful competitive grants (
$9.6M) including one ARC DECRA, two ARC DPs, four ARC LIEFs, one APRIL Innovation and Commercialisation Project, and one Australia-India Research Strategic Grant. He has mentored and supervised three ECRs and 15 PhDs (seven completions and eight current). Internationally, he has been recognised as one of world's 2% researchers by Stanford University (since 2019), emerging investigator by the editorials of Journal of Materials Chemistry C (2017) and ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces (2021), and holds an adjunct visiting professorship at his alma mater university (URV, Spain) in recognition of his significant contributions over the past ten years. He has strong experience in industrial engagement and translation of findings, project management, and international collaboration. He will lead this aspect of the project and oversee the experimental design, manuscript preparation, dissemination of results, and supervision.Facilities: During the last twelve years our team has built research infrastructure, including four ARC LIEF grants, and established a substantial suite of fabrication and characterisation facilities; these are cutting-edge environments in nanofabrication and optical and electrochemical chemo- and biosensing, including two fully computerised semi-industrial anodisation stations, two electrochemical workstations, two metal and oxide coating systems, 3D printing microfluidic chips, optical microscope coupled with optical fibre spectrometer, digital imaging characterisation, and several UV-visible-NIR spectrometers. Beyond our own independent research laboratory, we have access to a broad range of world-class nanofabrication and characterisation facilities. UoA's CHEM ENG provides an outstanding research environment with an analytical laboratory worth
$15M, which houses over 40 items of equipment, including research infrastructures of relevance to the proposed research (ALD, Raman, FTIR, PL, XRD, TGA-MS/FTIR, HPLCs, Mastersizer, DLS, BET). UoA also hosts the centre for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis (Adelaide Microscopy), which enables access to state-of-the-art SEMs, EDAX, TEMs, and HRTEM. Further to that, as members of the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) our research group has access to multiple research infrastructures across different Schools, Departments, and Research Institutes, such as the School of Electronic Engineering (THz spectroscopy characterisation facility), the Department of Chemistry (NMR 600 MHz with cryoprobe and 500 MHz with autosampler spectrometers), and IPAS (Optofab Node of ANFF with IR and visible ellipsometers, optical profilers). Our team has also access to the research infrastructures located at the central facilities of the South Australian and Victorian nodes of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF-SA and -VIC), which are world-class nanofabrication centres with
$100M investment in micro- and nanotechnology infrastructure, including cleanrooms classes 10,000 and 100, photolithography and nanolithography, and deposition systems at subsidised costs.Scholarship: The University of Adelaide offers competitive Research Scholarships of $AU 32,500 p.a.
