Research Biography

Dr Youhong Tang obtained his PhD degree in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2007. He moved to Flinders University with an ARC-DECRA in 2012 from Centre for Advanced Materials Technology, the University of Sydney. He is a material science and engineering researcher with research interests mainly focused on structure-process-property relation of (a) polymeric materials and nanocomposites, especially on rubber and epoxy based multifunctional and value-added nanocomposites (c) fibre reinforced composites and structures, particular for marine applications and (c) bioresources, biomaterials and biosensors, especially incorporating the novel aggregation-induced emission material.
