Primary research interests span across areas of miniaturized, portable and remote analysis, with emphasis on separation and detection science, and further include miniaturisation of analytical instrumentation, monolithic stationary phases, utilisations of LEDs and solid state light sources in chemistry, micro- and nanofluidics, computer-based modelling and dynamic fluidic simulations in chemistry, and history and philosophy of science. Publication record shows over 160 refereed journal articles and book chapters with an average of 20 citations per journal publication and a h-number of 31, over 95 conference oral presentations (41 were invited/plenary/keynote lectures), and 140 international conference posters. Received a number of prestigious competitive scholarships: “Australian Research Council Research Fellow”, held at the University of Tasmania 2000 - 2005, European Community Framework Six “Marie Curie Excellence Grants Fellow”, held at the Dublin City University, Ireland, 2006 - 2010, and "Australian Research Council Future Fellow (Level 3)", which is his current position held from 2012 at the University of Tasmania. Member of four journal advisory boards, including Analytica Chimica Acta and Electrophoresis, and is an Associate Director of the Californian Separation Science Society (CASSS), and Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).
