Dr. Peter Metaxas

Biography

I am part of UWA's Fluid Science & Resources group working on research related to natural gas, with a primary focus on gas hydrates and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Prior to my current role, I was in UWA's Department of Physics and Astrophysics, where I conducted research into nano-scale magnetic sensors and their downstream applications in biological sensing. I have previously worked as a researcher in joint government/industry laboratories in France and the USA. My academic positions include being a Fellow at the American-Australian Association, a research scientist at Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales in Palaiseau, France, and a post-doctoral researcher at the same institute. I also held a Whitfield Fellowship at the University of Western Australia. My research expertise encompasses gas hydrates, LNG, spintronics, domain wall dynamics, magnetic nanostructures, and magneto-optics. I focus on biosensing applications and contribute actively to projects aimed at improving energy diagnostics and understanding magnetic domain walls and nanomagnetics.
