After obtaining my PhD in 2012 from Flinders University I joined the group of Prof. Dr. Dominik Eder at the University of Muenster where I worked on the fabrication, characterisation and photocatlytic properties of nanocarbon-hybrid materials. After 2 years in Germany I returned to Flinders University to take up a 1 year joing Industry project with Flinders University and PMB defence engineering. Currently I am employed on an ARC discovery project to prepare novel photovoltaics using carbon nanotubes.
