Biography
NHMRC Peter Doherty Biomedical Research Fellow
UNSW School of Chemical Engineering
Dr Vipul Agarwal graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of Delhi, India in 2005, MApplSc in Chemistry from University of Tasmania, Australia in 2010, and PhD in Nanobiotechnology from The University of Western Australia, Australia in 2015. In 2016, he joined the Indian Institute of Science, India on the SERB-DST Postdoctoral Fellowship. He returned to Australia in 2018 on NHMRC Early Career Research Fellowship and joined the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) within the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW Sydney. Vipul’s current research interest is in materials engineering especially transition metal dichalcogenides and polymer/GO based nanocomposites and tissue engineering including neuronal and bone regeneration.
- PhD, The University of Western Australia, 2015
- DST National Postdoctoral Fellow, Indian Institute of Science, 2016-2018
- NHMRC Fellow, The University of New South Wales, 2018-2022
Since 2015, he has successfully attracted over AUD $600,000 in competitive funding as a Lead Chief Investigator. He has published in high impact journals including ACS Nano, Nanoscale, ACS Applied Materials and Interface and Carbon.
