Research project:
'Incorporating conducting polymers into microfluidic manifolds for fluid movement'.
This project is a collaboration between the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute, a conducting polymer-focused research group, and the National Centre for Sensor Research, Dublin City University, who have an interest in the use of microfluidic systems for environmental monitoring. The drive for this project came from the need for an efficient, low power pumping mechanism for microfluidics systems, to enable the large scale field deployment of these devices.

BSc (Hons). Flinders University of South Australia. PhD Candidate UoW.
Research Project
My main area of work has to do with using ‘Ionic Liquids’ (IL’s) as electrolytes for conjugated polymer systems. IL’s are ionic salts which are molten at or near room temperature and have special properties, such as electrical conductivity, negligible vapour pressure and tuneable hydrophobicity.
