Dr Chen was awarded a PhD in Chemistry in 2014 from the University of Western Australia (UWA), followed by a postdoctoral experience in the Centre for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Flinders University with Prof Colin L. Raston. From 2015, he worked as a Research Fellow with Prof Rodney S. Ruoff in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM) at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST). Upon the receipt of ARC DECRA, he joined the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2017, establishing a research group working on ‘artificial materials’ through developing new synthesis strategies and applications of materials. In 2021, Dr Chen became a Lecturer in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences at the University of Newcastle.

Mr Munday is assisting on research projects investigating new methods to synthesise graphene-based materials including metal/heteroatom-doped graphene and graphene/clay hybrid materials.

Mr Villamanca is focusing on research projects towards the experimental synthesis of two-dimensional diamonds and curved diamond(-like) nano-structures.

Mr Hogan is working on transferring of atomically thin materials and chemistry in confined two-dimensional space.

Mr Bach's research focuses on the liquid-phase synthesis of new artificial structures made of nano-carbon building blocks.
