Dr. Simon Corrie

Biography

Simon completed his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and his PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Queensland. He undertook postdoctoral studies at the HPV Research Laboratory at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. Simon completed an ARC DECRA Fellowship in Professor Mark Kendall's group at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology at the University of Queensland. He is a chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent BioNano Science and Technology. His research interests lie in developing nanoparticles related to biomaterials applications such as biosensing, bioassays, and biocatalysis. He is currently recruiting students for honors, MPhil, and PhD projects in the Nanosensor Engineering Lab, which is part of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Carbon Science Innovation. Simon's research focuses on developing biosensors and bioassays for monitoring disease biomarkers in real biological environments and creating biocatalysts for green chemistry applications. His lab works on the design, synthesis, characterisation, and testing of both synthetic nanoparticle and biological scaffolds, requiring an interdisciplinary approach combining materials science, chemistry, and molecular biology, along with AI methodologies for addressing real-world needs.
