Dr Andrew Scully

After completing his PhD, Andrew held research positions at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, Imperial College London & Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and the University of Melbourne, supported by post-doctoral fellowships from CSIRO, JSPS (Japan), EPSRC (UK), and ICI-Dulux (Aust.).

His research prior to joining CSIRO focused on applying ultra-fast laser spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging to investigate energy dissipation in UV-absorbers for polymer stabilisation, photodynamic therapy agents for cancer treatment, excitation energy migration in highly concentrated photosynthetic model systems and cells, and effects of diffusion on fast chemical reaction kinetics.

At CSIRO, he has led teams working on major projects with industrial and academic partners, including development and commercialisation of advanced packaging technologies incorporating photo-chemical and optical phenomena, bio-polymer composites, optical features for product security, and optoelectronic devices. His current research includes characterisation of the photophysics and optoelectronics of next-generation printed solar cells, device encapsulation, and printed solar cell durability for terrestrial and space applications.
