Biography
Dr. Yen Bach Truong is a Principal Research Scientist and Team Leader for the Functional Materials Team at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)-Manufacturing. She holds a Master in Analytical Chemistry from RMIT University and a PhD in Chemical Engineering in Fibre Science from Monash University. She has been working in the fabrication of electrospun nanofibres for a range of applications and has published over 45 peer-reviewed papers in this area in the last 10 years. She chaired the Inaugural International Conference on Electrospinning (Electrospin 2010) in Melbourne, Australia, in 2010. She has been invited to give more than more than 20 oral presentations at international conferences, seminars and workshops.
Dr. Truong has led and delivered on a multi-disciplinary project ($2M) involving the use of electrospinning to develop advanced nanostructured fabrics for low burden personal protection.
To date, Dr. Truong has supervised many local and international students (ranging from high school work experience, undergraduate industrial trainee, honour, Master to PhD) to help guide them on their research journeys.
