Senior Researchers

IPRI Staff Chen Dr Jun Chen has research interests in the preparation of nanostructured electromaterials, especially carbon nanotube based 3D architectures, and in fuel cell applications, including cell design and catalytic electrodes
IPRI Staff Higgins Dr Michael Higgins main interest and research has focused on the application of AFM to study the nanomechanical properties of biological systems, including living cells, model lipid membranes, single ligand-receptor interactions, individual protein unfolding, fundamental surface-force interactions, as well as being involved in AFM instrument development
IPRI Staff Maguire Professor Leon Kane-Maguire. Leon has a particular interest in optically active polymers
IPRI Staff Minett Dr Andrew Minett has research interests in nanomaterial interactions and biomolecular incorporation protocols that will provide a foundation for future bioelectronic devices
IPRI Staff Moulton Dr Simon Moulton is an active researcher involved in all aspects of research being undertaken in the Electromaterials and Bionics programs within ACES. He is the lead materials chemist responsible for coordinating the development of new materials for use in the Bionics ACES program for use in spinal cord regeneration, muscle regeneration, epilepsy control, and controlled drug release projects
IPRI Staff Mozer Dr Attila Mozer is the leader of the Solar Energy Conversion research strength at IPRI and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science. He is an expert in organic photovoltaic device fabrication and advanced characterisation techniques using time-resolved optical and electrical probes
IPRI Staff Officer

Professor David Officer research interests are to develop functional material and nanomaterial systems. This includes the development and application of functionalised conducting polymers and carbon nanotubes, and an internationally recognised program on the synthesis and use of porphyrins (artificial chlorophyll) in solar cells, which produced the best porphyrin-based solar cells in the world
