Biography
Dr Trinchi is the leader of CSIRO's Active Materials Team and the Materials Upcycling and Sustainability Exploration Labs, which develops advanced, multi-functional and nanostructured materials. These are being deployed to solve key challenges in national priority areas, including: environmentally friendly processes for upcycling problematic waste streams; advanced chemical sensor technologies; and for embedding functionality into additive manufactured (3D printed) parts such as unique identifiers, structural enhancements, biocompatibility and sensors. With over 100 scientific publications, he is recognised internationally as an expert in functional materials and sensor technology.
