Dr Peter Roth - Research Fellow PhD (2009) Chemistry University of Mainz, Germany Peter Roth studied chemistry at the University of Mainz (Germany), the University of Massachusetts (USA), and Seoul National University (South Korea), obtaining his PhD in 2009 in the group of Patrick Theato (Mainz). His PhD work focused on the end group modification of RAFT-made (co)polymers using activated esters and functional thiosulfonates. After obtaining a pre-diploma in Psychology in 2010 from the University of Mainz, he did postdoctoral research at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, working with Profs Tom Davis and Andrew Lowe on the self-assembly of homopolymers into vesicles from 2010–2012. His group’s research focused on novel smart materials responding to (multiple) external stimuli such as temperature (including rare aqueous UCST systems), presence of specific chemical analytes, pH, and mechanical agitation; the use and development of efficient post-polymerization modification reactions; and the use of multicomponent reactions in the design and preparation of novel multifunctional materials. He received an ARC DECRA on the development of novel stimulus responsive polymers in 2012 and was promoted to Research Fellow in 2013.
Dr Stuart Thickett - Research Fellow PhD (2008) Chemistry University of Sydney Stuart Thickett received his BSc (Hons) from The University of Sydney in 2004 and completed his PhD with Professor Robert Gilbert at The University of Sydney in 2008. He has since held post-doctoral positions at The University of Toronto, Canada (with Professor Mitchell Winnik) and The University of Sydney (with Associate Professor Chiara Neto). He is interested in the underlying kinetic and mechanistic phenomena that govern such systems, with the goal of using this knowledge to create new materials with specific properties and attributes. In 2012 he was awarded a Vice-Chancellor's Post-Doctoral Fellowship to join the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW. His work focuses on the physical chemistry of soft matter, specifically polymers, colloids, nanoparticles and thin films.
