About

Katia is Professor of Engineering at the Australian National University. She currently holds an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship to develop new electric propulsion devices, and the ANU Futures Fellowship in the area of plasma medicine and biotechnology. Previously, Katia was a recepient of an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (2013 – 2015) to conduct research on functional nanobio coatings to enhance the biological performance of implantable materials. She received her PhD cum laude in 2012, MBA in 2009, and MEng in 2005.

Katia’s interests broadly include development of novel nanotechnologies that offer maximum efficiency at minimal environmental cost to facilitate sustainable societal and economic development.
