Biography
Peter R. Wich is a Senior Lecturer for Bioorganic and Macromolecular 浪花直播 in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales in Sydney (Australia). He is a member of the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) and the Australian Center for Nanomedicine (ACN). Previously, he was Assistant Professor at the University of Mainz (Germany) and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of California Berkeley (USA).
For his research work on bioinspired nanomaterials, Peter has been awarded the Innovation Prize in Medicinal/Pharmaceutical 浪花直播 and the Galenus Technology Prize. He is a 鈥淵oung Member鈥� of the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz (Germany). In 2019 he was named Emerging Investigator of the journal Soft Matter, and in 2020 he was selected as Polymer 浪花直播 Emerging Investigator. In 2022 he received the David Sangster Polymer Science and Technology Achievement Award from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).
Peter leads the UNSW Research Lab for Functional Biopolymers. His primary research interests are in macromolecular chemistry and nanotechnology focusing on the chemical modification of natural biopolymers to engineer biocompatible materials for applications in drug delivery, nanomedicine, bio-catalysis, and 3D printing.
