Philipp is a Vice Chancellor's Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He graduated in Physics from the University of Munich (LMU), received his PhD in Materials Engineering from Monash University in 2014, and was awarded an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship in 2019. His research interests span many areas including fluorescent nanomaterials, plasmonics, nanoparticle chemistry and self-assembly, nano-photonics, and bioimaging and sensing. His current focus is the development of fluorescent nanomaterials - particularly nanodiamonds - for imaging and sensing applications.
Philipp has coordinated 'The Professional Scientist' for many years and contributed to teaching several physics undergraduate courses. Philipp now coordinates the 3rd year undergraduate laboratory course in Physics.
General areas: materials science, nanotechnology, photonics, quantum science, biotechnology
