Research Overview

• I am a Professor of Materials Science and a national and international recognized expert in development of new materials (e.g. hydrogel and composite materials), Additive Manufacturing (i.e. 3D and 4D printing) and materials characterisation (electrical, mechanical and performance) with a focus on applications in:

  • soft robotics
  • living/edible electronics
  • surfing (3D printed fins and surfboard flex).

  My research is currently funded by the Australian Research Council (Soft Robotics), UOW Global Challenges Program (3D printed fins for surfboards) and UOW Partnership Grant (surfboard flex).

  
  3D Printed Fins for Surfboards is an innovative interdisciplinary research project proving that, compared to traditional manufacturing, 3D printing is a viable alternative to customise and rapidly propotype surfboard fins. The project brings together experienced experts and early career researchers from a diverse range of disciplines including materials science, human geography, engineering, biomechanics, 3D printing, computational fluid dynamics, the Internet-of-Things, data mining and surfing. This project owes its success to its truly interdisciplinary nature, see http://tiny.cc/v6br8y.

  Mechanical flex is an important property that is critical to the performance of fins and surfboards. Our Surf Flex Laboratory is a dedicated facility for mechanical testing of surfing equipment, e.g. fins, surfboards, cloths, inlays, leash bars, and leashes to name but a few.

  Media
  I am an experienced science communicator and my research has received significant media attention. This goes back to ‘Hydrogel Scaffolds’ invention which won the People’s Choice award on ABC TV’s The New Inventors in 2009. I have also been featured on BBC television for our work on 4D printing in 2015. Since 2016, my work on 3D printed fins for surfboards and mechanical flex behaviour of surfboards has been regularly appearing in the media, e.g. The Australian, 9NewsIllawarra, ABC radio and on Discovery Channel program Daily Planet (to name by a few). For more details see: https://goo.gl/QVga7q

  Supervision
  Since 2006, I have supervised 20 PhD, 6 MSc, 17 Honours and 8 visiting research students.
