Professor Adam Micolich
Ph.D. in Physics, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ, 2001; B. Sc. (Hons) in Physics, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ, 1997.
Adam works on the development of nanoscale electronic devices for applications in bioelectronics. This includes work on the development of microscopy-capable nanoelectronics for simultaneous optical/electrical study of biomolecules and devices and circuits for ion-to-electron signal transduction. He also has interests in mixed conductivity systems where both ions and electrons contribute to conduction and device function. He has been working at »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ since 2002, previously as an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow (2003 - 2006) and ARC Future Fellow (2010 - 2014) in the School of Physics. Adam has over 100 refereed research publications in areas ranging from physics to education research, and has recently co-edited two books on nanotechnology research in Australia.
