Tuan Sang Tran @ Griffith
A researcher, an educator, and a dreamer...
Hi, I am Sang. I am the guy who love to be in the lab!
I am currently a Research Fellow at Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI), Griffith University. My research focuses on designing the interactions between nanomaterials to enable applications in flexible sensors, high-performance electronics, and renewable energy.
I graduated from RMIT University with a Ph.D. in Engineering in 2021. After that, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at RMIT from 2021 to 2022, before joining UNSW from 2023 to 2024. Recently, I was awarded the GU (Vice-Chancelor’s) Postdoctoral Fellowship, and I moved to Griffith University in early 2024 to commence my research on advancing flexible sensors with 2D materials.
Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are pivotal for modern electronics, especially in the new era of wearable devices. Utilising the unmatched sensitivity and flexibility of 2D materials, my research is developing a new class of ultrasensitive sensors with with extremely low thickness and unprecedented flexibility (2D MEMS).

My research story on the news!
22.04.2025
My recent Lindau Fellowship success story was picked up by the several Vietnamese newspapers, featuring the incredible journey “from a rural town in Vietnam to the meeting with Nobel Laureates in Lindau through the path of science”, advocating for the advancement of STEM education.
Big thanks to the incredible mentorship and support from Prof. Dzung Dao and Prof. Nam-Trung Nguyen that get me there!

PhD project: Fabrication of advanced piezo-optoelectronic sensors on 2D semiconductors
Deadline: 11.04.2025
The aim of this project is to develop a new generation of advanced piezo-optoelectronic sensors to measure complex light-matter interactions. The primary focus of this PhD project is (1) creating an ultrathin sensing platform based on 2D materials with tunable piezo-optoelectronic properties, and (2) fabricating flexible and ultrasensitive optomechanical sensors for defense and healthcare applications. The successful PhD candidate requires knowledge of physics and materials chemistry, with an emphasis placed on device fabrication and advanced materials characterisation.
