Associate Professor Frank Lucien<br />
PhD (1997)<br />
Chemical Engineering, UNSW<br />
Frank Lucien received his PhD in<br />
Chemical Engineering in 1997 from<br />
the University of New South Wales.<br />
His doctoral research was concerned<br />
with solubility enhancement of solids<br />
in supercritical CO 2 .<br />
polymeric nanoparticles (with Prof. Per<br />
Zetterlund). He has published over 80<br />
scientific papers, including 4 book<br />
chapters and 1 patent.<br />
He carried out postdoctoral research at<br />
F. Hoffmann-La Roche (Basel,<br />
Switzerland) and continued work on<br />
high pressure processes involving CO 2 .<br />
He was appointed as a lecturer in the<br />
School of Chemical Engineering &<br />
Industrial Chemistry at UNSW in<br />
1997.<br />
His early work involved the use of<br />
CO 2 -expanded liquids as reaction<br />
media, focusing on catalytic<br />
hydrogenation and catalytic chain<br />
transfer polymerization. He was<br />
promoted to A/Prof. in 2009 and is<br />
currently conducting research on<br />
radical polymerization in CO 2 -induced<br />
emulsions for the synthesis of
