Chin Ken Wong

Dr. Chin Ken Wong is an Adjunct Lecturer and postdoctoral researcher in the School of Chemistry at UNSW Sydney. His work focuses on advanced polymer self-assembly techniques for creating complex nanostructures.

• Current postdoc at UNSW Sydney
• Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (2019-2020)
• PhD in Chemistry from UNSW (2018)

Research Interests: Specializes in block copolymer self-assembly, with expertise in:

• Polymersome shape transformation
• Hierarchical self-assembly across nm-to-μm scales
• Inverted solution polymer morphologies (cubosomes/hexosomes)
• Scalable nanoparticle manufacturing
• Soft matter electron microscopy (cryo-TEM, cryo-ET)
• Topological defect analysis in polymer systems

Recent Publications demonstrate innovative approaches to creating Janus structures, multicompartment micelles, and topologically controlled nanomaterials.

Scientific Awards:

• Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2019-2020)
• EXMAC International Postdoc Travel Grant (2018)
• Multiple Australian Centre for Nanomedicine Seed Funding awards (2018, 2016)
• Australian Synchrotron Competitive Beamtime Funding (2016)
