I am currently a senior researcher in Graphene & 2D Materials Research Hub (led by Prof. Dusan Losic), and a lecturer at School of Chemical Engineering, the University of Adelaide, South Australia. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam, in 2001 and 2005 respectively, and Ph.D at Korea University (KU), South Korea in 2010, all in Materials Science and Engineering. I was a postdoc at KU (2011), IRDL CNRS at University of South Brittany (UBS, 2011-2013) and ICPEES at CNRS-Strasbourg University (2013-2014), France. Since March 2015 I have been working at the University of Adelaide, and I am a visisting A/Prof at Kumamoto University (Japan, 2023-2024). My research interests include carbon nanomaterials, conducting polymers and nanocomposites for sensor and biomedical applications. My successful bids are ARC NS Discovery, ARC linkage, and Internal and industrial projects, with a total of more than $1.8 M. I published over 120 SCI articles, 8 scholar book chapters, 5 patents, and my publications have been cited +5,300 times, h-index of 42.
