From paper aeroplanes to angry polymers and antimicrobial coatings, AIBN research rose to the top during UQ's Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition in 2024.

What makes a leader? The person with the loudest voice? An unmatched drive to be seen and heard? PhD scholar Nyakuoy Yak says there's no reason it can't be someone sitting quietly behind a microscope.

Tahmina Tabassum may be the only scientist in her family, but the same sense of entrepreneurialism that courses through her community is firmly guiding her work at the University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.

Michaela George’s mind has always been primed for science and technology. But it is her athletic pursuits, just as much as any lecture or textbook that have guided her mission to change the world.

The gold nanoparticles Yusra Rabbani uses in her wound sensor project may not be visible to the naked eye, but the science behind her work still proved eye-catching enough at the University of Queensland's All-Institute final of the Three-Minute Thesis.

One of UQ’s leading COVID-19 vaccine researchers, Associate Professor Keith Chappell, has discovered that the chlamydia epidemic plaguing endangered koala populations in Queensland and NSW is linked to a common virus that likely suppresses koalas’ immune systems.

The first recipients of AIBN’s UQ Entrepreneurial PhD Top-up Scholarship have been selected.

Even before being awarded her PhD at the University of Queensland, Yun (Amy) Liu’s research had reached stratospheric heights.

This week AIBN held its 2018 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) heats. We had two outstanding entrants this year, who gave strong presentations.

Katarzyna Kȩpa is an AIBN PhD student in the laboratory of Professor Darren Martin. Her research focuses on understanding the structure-property relationships of Spinifex-derived nanofiber materials, developing ways to incorporate these nanofibers into cardboard and paper.
