Iโm starting a new position as GUPF Fellow at Griffith
19.02.2024, Gold Coast
After a long journey from Sydney to Gold Coast, Iโm happy to share that Iโm taking up my Griffith University (Vice-Chancellor's) Postdoctoral Fellowship and starting a new position as Research Fellow at Griffith University.
That's right, I was driving 900km to get here ๐๐๐
Farewell to UNSW!
16.02.2024, Sydney
Today is my last day at UNSW.
I will miss the people... I will miss the place....
Thank you all for the great moments we shared ๐ป
Bio4Apps 2023 Conference
13-15.12.2023, Gold Coast
Our team at the Bio4Apps 2023 Conference. Had a great time helping the organising team at the conference, catching up with some old friends, and meeting up with some new colleagues at Griffith University.
And yes, my talk is actually about the Corgi ๐ถ
Our book chapter is online ๐
15.11.2023
Our book chapter Sensing applications of non-layered 2D materials was published in the venerable book series Semiconductors and Semimetals by Elsevier. The first edition of this landmark book series was published in 1967, twice the time I have been alive..!!
Our figure was selected as Cover Art for the volume as well ๐
My sucessful 2024 Griffith Fellowship ๐๐
01.11.2023
I was awarded the prestigious Griffith University (Vice-Chancellor's) Postdoctoral Fellowship (success rate: 15%). This fellowship will allow me to advance modern sensors using 2D materials, and kickstart my independent research career.ย
Bracing myself to move to the beautiful Griffith University in Gold Coast, Queensland...๐ฅณ๐คฉ๐
2023 Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering
03-05.07.2023, Cairns
Me at the 2023 Conference on Green And Sustainable Chemistry And Engineering (GASC2023). What a great time of science! And the winter in Cairns is just awesome ๐
Our latest 3D printing paper published on Nano Trends
01.06.2023
In this work, we simultaneously exfoliate graphite into high-quality graphene and formulate 3D printable graphene inks using a highly conductive nanofibrillar network formulation by recrystallization of PEDOT:PSS nanofibrils.
And we can 3D print some pretty cool stuffs, mostly for energy applications.
Cover Art for RSC Energy Advances
17.03.2023
My drawing (cover art) has been selected as the front cover for the latest issue of RSC Energy Advances. It was a really fun experience (and several nights of non-sleep) making this figure ๐
Iโm starting a new position as Postdoctoral Fellow at UNSW Sydney
20.02.2023, Sydney
After a long journey from Melbourne to Sydney, Iโm happy to share that Iโm starting a new position as Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney).ย
That's right, I was driving the whole way ๐๐๐
Farewell to RMIT!
31.01.2023, Melbourne
Today is my last day after 5 amazing years at RMIT University. A special thanks to my team for making my time here so special.
Our US Patent App. has been publishedย
12.01.2023
This invention offers a new technology to mass produce graphene from common carbon sources in water solution, which not only offers a low-cost and environmentally friendly process for manufacturing, but also provides a ready-to-use graphene ink that can be directly used for next-generation energy devices.
Our paper published on ACS Applied Nano Materials
11.01.2023
In this work, we utilise the classic miniemulsion process to produce a novel nanoparticles stabilised graphene system, which is surfactant-free, highly conductive, and exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity for sustainable fuel cells.
Materials Oceania 2022 Conference
05-08.12.2022, Gold Coast
Me at the 2022 International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering (Materials Oceania 2022). I won the best presentation award too!
Materials Oceania, it's not just a conference, it's a community!
Iโm starting a new position as Postdoctoral Fellow at RMIT
01.02.2022, Melbourne
Happy Lunar New Year! After a long-overdue break, Iโm happy to share that Iโm starting my first official academic position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at RMIT University.ย ย
Performing neutron scattering experiments at ANSTOย
15.01.2022, Sydney
A special visit to Australia's only nuclear reactor at ANSTO Lucas Heights campus. We utilise the neutron beam generated from the state-of-the-art 20-megawatt OPAL nuclear reactor that uses low-enriched-uranium (LEU) to study the bulk dispersions of various graphene complexes, by exploiting the particular sensitivity of neutrons toward hydrogen at the atomic level (for contrast-matching of individual components).
I can neither confirm nor deny the exciting outcomes of our experiments..!! ๐๐
Hooray... It is my graduation day!
15.12.2021, Melbourne
This is the date I'm officially becoming a doctor (who is not saving lives). My PhD journey was a roller-coaster, with the relocation of my team from Adelaide to RMIT, and then... the disruption caused by Covid-19, with lockdowns and lab closures.ย It is so satisfying to be on this date โ the conclusion of my PhD journey!
