Research Associate

Dr Nathaniel Corrigan

Nathaniel Corrigan holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering, Hons. 1) and a Doctorate of Philosophy (Polymer Science/Chemical Engineering).

Engineering

School of Chemical Engineering

Dr. Nathaniel Corrigan is a ARC DECRA fellow working in the Cluster for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) and the Australian Centre for Nanomedicine (ACN) in the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW. His research focuses on the use of light in macromolecular synthesis, with a particular focus on new methods for polymer synthesis. Dr. Corrigan has expertise in flow mediated photochemical reactions, reaction design for photopolymerization, and controlling polymer molecular weight distributions, and has also pioneered the application of reversible deactivation radical polymerization to 3D printing, via the use of ultra-fast PET-RAFT polymerization and other ultra-fast photoinduced 3D printing processes. These processes enable the production of advanced macromolecular materials via more streamlined and highly accessible approaches.

PhD Projects are available.
