Dr Farzaneh Farivar (2018-2022)
Farzan joined the group as visiting researcher from the University of Teheran and after one year she started to work as postdoctoral researcher on several RC Graphene Research Hub projects involving industry partners including development methods for graphene functionalization, development of new graphene based adsorbents for environmental remediation (PFAS, oil, heavy metals) and on development of new method for characterization bulk properties of graphene and exploring new graphene production methods. She developed very strong expertise on TGA chracteraization of graphene materials providing valuable contribution to this field. She started in new position as Research fellow at Curtin University. https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/farzaneh.farivar https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=LxxxxxgAAAAJ&hl=en
Dr Ramesh Karunagaran (2018-2021)
Ramesh completed his PhD in the University of Adelaide under the supervision of Prof. Losic on project on development of graphitic carbon materials for energy and environment applications. His research expertise are in areas of carbon materials, graphene, polymer composites and catalysis. He was involved on collaborative ARC Graphene Research Hub projects for industry to development of graphene polymer composites and additives for construction materials.

Dr Nathan Stanley (2015-2021)
Nathan completed his PhD in Chemistry at the University of Adelaide on the novel chemical synthesis of amino acids towards and after taking several overseas postdoctoral position he joined our group in 2015 to work on industry several projects on development of new plasma technology for treatment of grain to increase shelf-life and development of technology for capturing and recycling fumigants. his research on ARC Graphene Research Hub involved working on industry project on developing new biosensors for medical diagnostic using graphene and 2D materials. He developed excellent skills and processes for fabrication of sensing devices using 2D and 3D printing technologies. He is currently working with DSTG in Adelaide.
Dr Grant Mathieson (2018-2020)
Grant completed his PhD in Materials science and Process Engineering from the University of Waikato in 2026. at The University of Waikato, NZ. He worked as postdoctoral researcher in NZ and after move to Australia he worked at UniSA and graphene company Imagine Intelligent Materials to work on graphene coated geofabrics. He joined the group in 2018 to work on industry project and ARC Graphene Research Hub working on developing graphene-enhanced anti-corrosive paint with industry partner, Graphene Technology Solutions or Sparc Technologies ltd (Adelaide). After completing project he moved to work with Sparc Technologies ltd on commercialization of graphene protective paints and and graphene additives.
Dr Diana Tran (Ngoc Hoa) (2014-2019)
Diana completed her PhD in 2010 in Engineering (Minerals and Materials)at Ian Wark Research Institute, University of Australia. After taking postdoctoral research position at University of Melbourne she joined our research group in 2014. Diana was key researcher who started graphene research with Prof Losic working on many industry and ARC Graphene Research Hub project. She developed several methods for preparation of graphene materials, their modification and developed several graphene based products (graphene adsorbents for heavy metals and oils). She contributed to 5 graphene based patents which are all granted and licensed to industry partners. She is currently Senior lecturer at School of Chemical engineering, the University of Adelaide. https://www.adelaide.edu.au/directory/diana.tran#
