Biography

Damia Mawad is an Associate Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at UNSW Australia. He was appointed as a lecturer in August 2015, after completing the Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship at Imperial College London, UK. Before that, he served as a Research Fellow at the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) at the University of Wollongong from 2008 to 2012. His research interests encompass polymeric bioelectronics and their application in tissue engineering. Current projects include enhancing the electronic stability of conducting polymers under physiological conditions, tailoring the chemistry of conjugated polymers, and developing innovative fabrication techniques that enable the retention of dopants within the matrix. He also focuses on creating 3D electroactive scaffolds for cell seeding, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as sutureless conductive patches for cardiac regeneration. His work investigates the effects of electrically bio-stable conjugated systems on electro-physiology and electro-responsive tissues, alongside the development of conjugated nanoparticles for photo-thermal therapy and on-demand drug delivery, incorporating 3D printing techniques for biological scaffolds.
