Clarence Chuah
PhD student
Current research area and research interests: the research area of particular interest to Clarence is the amalgamation of AIEgens with the Vortex Fluidic Device (VFD) for biomedical applications. Thin-film microfluidics and its applications were the primary research focus to develop the VFD’s core technology. Through both batch processing and flow chemistry’s point of view, the capabilities to harness reactions beyond diffusion control, micromixing, as well as high shear forces to explore and enhance chemical reactivity emerged as a result of this technology. From processing of advanced materials through to manipulating single-cell organisms and the synthesis of small molecules, the processing ability of the VFD is expansive.
Bradley Donnelly
Current research area: Antifouling coatings, fouling is the accumulation of unwanted substances, such as proteins molecules or organisms on structures, pylons boats or pipes due to exposure to their environment. This is often combatted with either solutions that kill organisms on or near a surface or, limit how well they can attach to begin with. The application of these new technologies to acoustics sensors could significantly alter their acoustic properties and it is for this reason that further investigation into this needs to be done. It is important to characterise the acoustic properties of new antifouling techniques as well as commercially available antifouling paints.
Research Interests: Marine antifouling coatings, Materials, Acoustics, Signal Processing and Social Network analysis.

Samaneh Mirzaei
Current research area and research interests: Samaneh’s research interest is focusing on the field of tissue engineering like fabricating of electrospun nanofibers and hydrogels, their surface and bulk modification or functionalization, and mechanical characterization, as well as several chemistry related projects such as peptide synthesis for supramolecular hydrogels, nanoparticle and organic synthesis. Now I am focusing on a using AIE genes for different applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
A H M Mohsinul Reza
Current research area and research interests: Mr. A H M Mohsinul Reza is a PhD student in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University, Australia. His current research interest relies on utilization of the aggregation induced emission (AIE) nanoprobes to apprehend the role of calcium signalling in lipid formation in photosynthetic microalgae. As the potential source of third generation biofuel, understanding the cell signalling during the induced conditions for enhanced lipid biosynthesis is important. Proper visualization techniques of these systems can give insight into the core of these biological processes, which is the primary focus of his study. Mr. Reza obtained his 2nd master’s in the field of Marine Life Science, Laboratory of Marine Biotechnology and Microbiology, Hokkaido University, Japan in 2018. His 1st master program was in 2011 in the field of Fisheries Biology and Genetics at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh.
Pham Tran Tam Anh
Current research area and research interests: Anh is a biomedical engineer with three-year experience working with the laboratory’s analysing instruments and equipment. After graduating Master of Biomedical Engineer in Flinders University, Anh has a remarkable interest in biomaterials and biosensors, which both provide the potential access to the future development of biomedical engineering. Currently, Anh’s research is focusing on biosensors and biomaterials, using the aggregation induced emission materials (AIE). In addition, he is interested in developing the medical devices which are affordable and accessible using AIE methods. The aim of the research is to allow patients to monitor their health status by themselves.
