News:
  • June - September 2006 -  My research was highlighted in:
  • Materials Monthly (Page 4)
    Materials Monthly aims to keep you up to date with the latest materials science and engineering happening in and around ANU. "Dewetting and making micro patterns".
  • Future Materials (Page 1)
    Future Materials is the marketing name for the Australian Materials Technology Network. Article titled: "DIBIP - a new approach to micro-patterning".
  • Sciencewise - vol III, No. IV (page 6)
    Sciencewise is the magazine of the ANU College of Science. Article titled: "    Making Micropatterns".
  

Research interests:

  • wetting and dewetting

  • thin liquid films

  • liquid flow in confined geometries

  • micro-patterning of proteins

  • applications of the atomic force microscope to imaging and direct  measurement of forces

Career in brief:

 

I am presently a lecturer at the School of Chemistry of the University of Sydney. In 2003-2006 I was a research fellow at the Australian National University. I lectured Chemistry Honours  students in a course on “Wetting and Capillarity” and second-year Chemistry students in Physical Chemistry (CHEM2102).

 

In 2002/2003 I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at:

I received my BSc with Masters and PhD at the University of Florence, Italy.
