Author Biographies

Peter Hutchison is a PhD student at Swinburne University Australia. He received his Honours Degree with a major in Chemistry at this University in 2022. His research focuses on the use of nanomaterials and optical sensors for biosensing applications, particularly for detecting biomolecules. Up to date, he has not had any journal publications or awards.
Peter Kingshott joined Swinburne University of Technology in late 2010. He heads The Polymer NanoInterface Engineering Group which has a strong emphasis on controlling the interfacial interactions of biological materials with advanced material surfaces. He is also the Deputy Director of SEAM, The Australian Research Council. He completed his PhD and a postdoc at CSIRO Molecular Science, where he worked on developing new antifouling contact lens surfaces. Then he took up postdoc positions at the National ESCA and Surface Analysis Centre for Biomedical Problems (NESAC/BIO) based at The University of Washington in Seattle, and the Centre for Competence in Biomaterials at the RWTH Aachen in Germany. In 2000, he moved to Denmark to become a Senior Scientist at The Danish Polymer Centre, Riso National Laboratory, near Copenhagen. He moved to the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre (iNANO) at Aarhus University in 2006 as Associate Professor. His research interests are microbiology; nanobiotechnology; nanofabrication; surface engineering; biointerface engineering; colloids and interface science; bioreactors and tissue engineering; and medical devices and diagnostics.
Aimin Yu received her PhD in Chemistry at Nanjing University. After being a Lecturer at the same university for three years, she took a postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Germany). Aimin joined Swinburne in 2010. Currently, she is a Professor in Chemistry. Her main research fields are focused on the synthesis, functionalization, and application of advanced materials, including nanoparticles, 2D nanosheets, thin film/coatings,and composite materials.
