Biography
Dr Nisa Salim is currently a Vice Chancellors Initiative Research Fellow received her PhD from Deakin University in 2013 in materials engineering. Nisa’s research is mainly focused on advanced carbon materials and functional fibres. She has published over 45 high impact journal papers, 2 edited books, 3 book chapters, and 1 patent. Nisa won many awards in her research career including Royal Society of Victoria-Philip Law Award, AINSE Gold Medal for outstanding PhD and Smart Geelong Early Researcher award, Victoria Fellowship, Endeavour Fellowship, Alfred Deakin Fellowship and many more even with a career break of more than 2 years. Nisa’s vision is to develop smart, engineered materials that are enablers for digitalization and the internet of things – living materials that sense, actuate and harvest energy.
