Thank you @SumeetWalia4, @madhu_bhaskaran, and @sharath_sriram for your guidance throughout my PhD journey! I have learnt a lot during this time ☺️
Congratulations Dr @JamieMXLow @ResearchRMIT on the successful completion of her #PhD. Jamie's research focused on tuning the optoelectronic properties of #2DMaterials and their heterostructures for applications in light detection and photovoltaics. Well done!!

Fantastic to formally launch @ARC_Hub_Sensors today.
Such passionate and motivated partners, wanting to empower people's health decisions and outcomes.
@madhu_bhaskaran and @dss_sundar represented @fun_materials @ResearchRMIT and showcased our devices.
@arc_gov_au
Senator Tim Ayers today launched @ARC_Hub_Sensors. Led by @UNSW, the Research Hub partners with 6 universities and 32 business partners to drive innovation in wearable health sensors for better diagnosis, management and monitoring of a host of health issues. #research @ayrestim

This work won’t be possible without collaboration and support from @wenlongcheng @fun_materials @BaohuaJ @MNRF_RMIT @Nanomelb and #RMMF.
Like the chocolate spiral/roll 🍫 ? How about some gold ones 🥇 ? Don't worry, it's not costly as I cook it at micro/nanoscale 👨🍳 ! Excited to share that our #Chiral active #Helical structures are out in @AdvSciNews Advanced Materials Technologies!

Very proud to have our @fun_materials Career Reconnect Fellowships and @TMOS_ARC recruitment initiatives featured as part of @RMIT's @SciGenderEquity Cygnet Award!
#WomenInSTEM @ResearchRMIT
Congratulations @RMIT! Proud to have been able to play a part of this by piloting Achievement Relative to Opportunity (ARtO) for recruitment for @fun_materials and @TMOS_ARC. This also enabled us to give out 3 Career Reconnect fellowships to jump start interrupted careers again.

Congratulations @RMIT! 🎉 Their first Cygnet Award recognises their work to recruit more women and gender diverse staff. Thanks to a suite of targeted interventions, 36% more women were appointed to STEMM roles.
Read how they did it: sciencegenderequity.org.au/n…
The fundamental science behind rapid SARS-CoV-2 sensors developed in partnership with @SoteriusA has been published in @AdvSciNews 'Advanced Materials Technologies'. Congratulations to the team and thank you to the amazing collaborators!
