Professor Mark Biggs holds the Chair of Chemical Engineering at the University of Adelaide where he is also the Head of the School of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Bio and Nanoengineering Faculty Research Group. Professor Biggs’ research looks at systems where interfaces – the boundary between two phases such as water and air – play an important role with application in designing, manufacturing and exploiting nanostructured materials and systems.  His work has been reported in more than 65 publications, including over 50 peer reviewed articles and seven invited contributions, and nearly 45 invited plenary, keynote and other lectures around the World.
