Professor Dayong Jin, an ARC Future Fellow and Chief Investigator of the ARC multidisciplinary research Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale Biophotonics, has joined the UTS science faculty to grow the Initiative Biomedical Materials & Devices (IBMD) into an international collaborative network.
As the new director of the IBMD, Professor Jin will bring together the disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medical research to build industry partnerships to transform leading-edge and cost-effective technologies.
A photonics physicist by training, Professor Jin since finishing his PhD in 2007 brought together disciplines of science through his research group, the Advanced Cytometry Labs at Macquarie University.
He sees UTS as a growing, energetic institution with an attractive dynamic and fitting place for multidisciplinary research.
“My goal in the next five years is to develop a more dynamic collaborative research hub in this area which is featured by industry-driven research,” Professor Jin said.
Professor Jin believes UTS has a solid base for international-based science initiatives to take off.
