报告人：Prof. Tom Davis

单位： Moansh University (澳大利亚)

简介：

Tom Davis is now the director of ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nano Science & Technology and adjacent professor in Monash University and University of Warwick. He is also the founding director of both the Center for Advanced Macromolecular Design and the Australian Center for Nanomedicine. Very recently, he is awarded prestigious ARC laureate Fellowship. Prof. Davis is a leading polymer scientist/nanotechnologist with a proven performance in producing highly influential research. He has published more than 390 refereed papers with a total citation over 20,000 times and an H-index of 79. His scientific contributions have embraced polymerization kinetics, nanostructured films, nanoparticles, protein conjugates, nanoparticle enhanced bio-imaging, gene delivery and targeted therapeutics. In recent years Davis has been awarded ARC Discovery grants to work on novel MRI contrast agents (iron oxide nanoparticles and gadolinium bound by macromolecular ligands) and novel PET agents. Davis also has significant experience in developing novel chemistry for bioconjugation reactions to proteins, peptides and DNA.

2. Photoactivation with Copper(II) and Disproportionation of Copper(I) to Achieve Excellent Living Polymerisation of Acrylamides and Acrylates

报告人：Prof. David Haddleton

单位：University of Warwick (英国)

简介：

David Haddleton is now a professor in University of Warwick, UK. He has been working in the area of controlled polymer synthesis for over 25 years since being employed at ICI. His PhD “Photochemistry of some organometallic ethene compounds” was under the supervision of Robin Perutz at the University of York in 1986. He spent one year at the University of Toronto as a PDRA working with Geoff Ozin on metal vapour synthesis and intra zeolite encapsulation of organometallics. He joined ICI in 1988 and spent one year at the University of Southern Mississippi working with polymer liquid crystals. Moving back to the UK in 1988 he spent 5 years working on GTP and anionic polymerisation prior to moving to Warwick in 1993 and was promoted to full Professor in 1998. He has published over 300 papers and has a google h-index = 59 with over 11000 citations. Current work in the group is in different aspects of developing new polymerisation methodology and using this for novel polymers for industrial applications, polymers for personal care applications, (hair and skin care) and for biomedical and nano medicinal applications (new and targeted peptide and protein conjugation). Recent work includes new conjugation strategy, glycopolymers, monomer sequence control and polymerisation in biological media.
