Monash Profile: https://www.monash.edu/engineering/simoncorrie
I'm thrilled to have launched the NEL at Monash University in 2016. My passion is in designing new tools for measuring and monitoring dynamic biological processes, focusing on unique problems that are yet to be solved. After completing my undergraduate training in chemical engineering I switched to physical chemistry for my PhD - always with a focus on designing bioassays and devices. I moved to Seattle to develop rapid genotyping assays for DNA methylation analysis and HPV genotyping (Prof Nancy Kiviat). I then moved back to Australia and spent the next 6 years working on "wearable immunoassays" for selectively capturing circulating disease proteins via the skin (Prof Mark Kendall). My PhD advisor once told me to look at where the field is going, and go another way! If you are looking for a unique challenge, and you are interested in working at the interfaces between engineering and biology, research and industry, then consider joining us as a student (undergraduate, intern, Honours, Masters, PhD) or postdoc.
The NEL Team
Edward Henderson
PhD student (Corrie, Plebanski)
Ed started his Ph.D. in March 2018. His Ph.D. will be focussed on developing protein nanosensors for in vivo monitoring of ovarian cancer.
Abner Tonu Lema
PhD student (Corrie, Garnier)
Abner began his Ph.D. program in November of 2022 and is presently working on creating in situ paper-based biosensors that can detect herbicides in agricultural fields. He earned his M.Sc. in Analytical Chemistry at Brawijaya University in Indonesia focusing on developing a spectrophotometric method for determining iodide levels in relation to iodine deficiency.
Salma Sultana Tunny
PhD student (Corrie, Hagemeyer)
Salma started her Ph.D. in February 2023, focusing on developing In Vivo nanosensors for spatiotemporal monitoring of infectious diseases. She has prior experience working with spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging systems, particularly in the application of biological products.
Jie-Ning Chuang
PhD student (Garnier, Corrie, Rosenbluh, Knott)
Jie-Ning started his Ph.D. in February 2023. His research focuses on applying phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) for biosensing applications. His prior experience focused on polymer science applying to the electrokinetic sensor and the continuous glucose monitoring device.
Anuragmani Tripathi
PhD student (Garnier, Corrie)
Anurag started his PhD in May 2023. His research focuses on developing novel and efficient platforms for paper diagnostics for a variety of applications. Anurag completed his Masters's degree in Pulp and Paper engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) with a thesis focused on developing Fiber-reinforced composites.
Amir Roointan
PhD student (Hagemeyer, Xu, Corie, Alt )
Amir began his Ph.D. studies in May 2023 with a research focus on the diagnostics and therapeutics of diabetic kidney disease. He brings prior experience in the field of drug delivery carriers, particularly pH-responsive nanohydrogels, as well as expertise in kidney transcriptomics data analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets.
