Biography

Andrew has previously held research positions at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, Imperial College London & Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and the University of Melbourne, supported by fellowships from CSIRO, JSPS (Japan), EPSRC (UK), and ICI-Dulux (Aust.). His research has included applying ultra-fast laser spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging to explore energy dissipation in UV-absorbers for polymer stabilisation, photodynamic therapeutics for cancer treatment, exciton dynamics in highly concentrated photosynthetic model systems and cells, and the effects of molecular 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 polymeric materials incorporating photo-chemical and optical phenomena, bio-polymer composites, optical features for product security, and optoelectronic devices.

His current research involves investigating the photophysics and optoelectronics of next-generation printed solar cells, device encapsulation, and printed solar cell durability for terrestrial and space applications.
