Biography

obtained my Ph. D. from the University of Newcastle in 2001 working in the area of organosilane coatings for corrosion protection of various metal oxide surfaces, focussing on the mechanisms and oscillatory kinetics of self-assembly. From 2000-2001 I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Laboratory for Surface Modification, Rutgers University (NJ, USA) working with Prof. T.E. Madey, leading his group's synchrotron research (at Brookhaven National Laboratory) and collaborating with students and postdocs on various surfaces (primarily on faceting, atomically rough surfaces). I then returned to Newcastle in 2002 to do a second postdoc, and present some lectures as a casual academic, before being appointed as a lecturer at Flinders in 2003, promoted to Senior lecturer in 2006, and Associate Professor in 2009.

Research interests

The Smart Surface Structures research group at Flinders is primarily interested in technology enabling surface architectures, which are achieved through exploiting the physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. We seek to understand atomic and molecular mechanisms that take place and with knowledge of these, produce enhanced interfaces with properties tailored and optimised for their specific application. At the moment, our group's research effort is concentrated in the following areas

  • Atomic and Molecular Surface Nanostructures - Nanoscale surface phenomena, mechanisms of assembly, structural transitions and kinetic processes in atomic and molecular surface clusters, nanoparticles and thin films
  • Surface Attachment - supporting structures for sensor design materials
  • Surface Modification - tailoring the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of surfaces and interfaces for compatibility in their specific application
  • Corrosion protection - alternatives to currently used, hazardous, inorganic treatments
  • Novel Photovoltaics - building new architectures for harvesting solar power
  • Catalysis - the influence of morphology and particle size upon catalytic behaviour of surfaces
  • Polymer Physics - the influence of crystallinity and morphology on material properties
  • Molecular Electronics - aimed at producing atomic and molecular-scale wires on surfaces and involves a range of spectroscopic and surface science techniques, such as (but not limited to) electron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS, AES), streaming zeta-potential measurement (SZP), mass spectrometry (ToFSIMS), scanning probe microscopies (STM, AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman confocal microscopy and synchrotron measurements
