What is nanodesign? Associate Professor Melanie MacGregor explains, "A bit like how architects make new buildings with materials like wood, glass and metals, I do the same but at a very small scale - nanoscale. To put it into context, nanoscale is if you take a hair and cut it into 100,000 slices - that's how small and thin the features I'm making are."
Hear from Associate Professor Melanie MacGregor, a Matthew Flinders Fellow in Chemistry in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders, explore the concept of nanodesign and its relevance to a variety of industries from medicine to energy and the environment. What inspired her to dedicate her research career to chemistry and what keeps her motivated?
Melanie is a Matthew Flinders Fellow in Chemistry in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University. She's also an ARC Future Fellow in material science. Her research group explores the effects of surface chemistry and nanoscale topography on the interaction with biomaterials and their environment.
Melanie’s research has been recgonised through several awards including the 2018 SA Young Tall Poppy Science Award. In 2019 she was also selected to participate in the SuperStar of STEM program hosted by Science Technology Australia in aims of promoting gender equity and diversity in STEM careers.
