Burkhard Raguse Ph.D.
Dr. Raguse is project leader of the Biomimetic Engineering project at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Industrial Physics unit. His research interests include the development of nanoscale assemblies and their physical characterization, biomimetic information processing, and the biophysics of supramolecular aggregates. The research involved the design & synthesis of the molecular biosensor components as well as subsequent physical characterization of the function of the ICS biosensor. He is a co-inventor of the ICS technology with 16 core biosensor patents, which have resulted in over 50 granted patents in various countries. The work eventuated in the formation of an Australian company (AMBRI Pty Ltd) to further develop and commercialize the technology.EducationPh.D. Physical Organic Chemistry University of Sydney, 1986Career HighlightsDr Burkhard Raguse received his Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry from the University of Sydney in 1986 on “Host-Guest Complexation Chemistry” under the supervision of A/Prof. D. Ridley. After post-doctoral work with Prof. M.T. Reetz at the Phillips University Marburg, Germany studying the reaction mechanism and kinetics of organotitanium reactions by nuclear magnetic resonance, he joined CSIRO in 1988 to work on the Australian Membrane & Biotechnology Research Institute “Ion Channel Switch” (ICS) biosensor project. From 1993-98 Dr Raguse was a Project Manager within the Cooperative Research Centre for Molecular Engineering with concurrent projects in the areas of chemistry production, biophysics of membrane function and biosensor stability.Important ArticlesOptical properties of dense self-assembled gold nanoparticle layers with organic linker molecules; Stefan Schelm, Geoff B.

Related ContentUCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
Graphene: Synthesis and Applications: Author InterviewAs the nanocommunity celebrates the year since the pioneers of graphene won the Nobel Prize, NanoScienceWorks.org speaks with the co-editor of Graphene: Synthesis and Applications. This is first comprehensive book to look at the exciting industrial properties and promises of graphene’s planar sheet. Prof. Wonbong Choi is the Director of Nanomaterials & Device Laboratory at Florida International University’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.
Rice University Opens Graphene for Organic ChemistryRice University researchers have found a highly controllable way to attach organic molecules to pristine graphene. The work opens the door for a new class of chemical sensors, thermoelectric devices and metamaterials.
