Conference Chair
Professor Michael Yu BSc ECNU, PhD Fudan
ARC Future Fellow and Group Leader
Nanomaterials for biotechnology energy and environmental protection
Professor Chengzhong Yu is a group leader at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. He has broad research interests in developing new strategies to design functional nanostructured composites for biotechnology, clean energy and environment protection. He has published 150 refereed journal papers with citations over 6300 and an H-index of 41, and has received many awards including the ARC Future Fellowship.
Deputy Chair
Professor Matt Trau BSc (Hons) Syd, PhD Melb
AIBN Deputy Director (Nanotechnology) and Group Leader
Nanotechnology, biomarkers and next generation molecular diagnostics
Professor Matt Trau has a well-established and outstanding track record of research output in the area of NanoBiotechnology. His specific research interests involve the nanostructured assembly and manipulation of matter to produce materials and devices for application in medicine and biotechnology. Research outcomes include artificial scaffolds, novel devices for genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, diagnostics and devices for controlled drug release.
Deputy Chair
Professor Lars Nielsen MEngSc Denmark, PhD UQ
Group Leader
Systems and synthetic biology
Professor Lars Nielsen is dedicated to the advancement of bioengineering science and its application to specific problems. Using thermodynamic principles, novel approaches are developed for handling complex, transient dynamics in developing tissue as well as rational design of complex pathways. These novel approaches are used to design bioprocesses as diverse as producing blood cells for transfusion, and industrial biopolymers production.
Deputy Chair
Professor Andrew Whittaker BSc (Hons) UQ, PhD UQ
ARC Australian Professorial Fellow and Group Leader
Polymer Chemistry
Professor Andrew Whittaker is working to bridge the gap between fundamental physical sciences and applications in the field of new materials, in particular biomaterials. His research strengths are in magnetic resonance and polymeric materials. Professor Whittaker works as part of the Polymer Chemistry group and has a particular interest in solid-state NMR of polymer morphology and properties, and MRI of fluids in polymers and other materials.
