معرفی
Irene Yarovsky is a Distinguished Professor and the leader of the Materials Modelling and Simulation research group at RMIT University's School of Engineering in Melbourne, Australia. She also holds a Visiting Professor position at Imperial College London's Department of Materials. She earned her PhD in 1995 from Monash University, focusing on theoretical modelling of protein-surface interactions. Her research spans computational materials design, with applications in industrial coatings, bio-materials, and nanomaterials. She is particularly interested in nano-bio interfaces, including biomedical devices and environmental interactions.
Prof. Yarovsky has published over 200 papers and secured over $40M in research funding. She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and Technology, the Royal Society (UK), and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Her work emphasizes theoretical simulations of material structures and properties, with a focus on biomolecular systems, industrial materials, and bio-nanotechnology applications.
Her research group develops advanced materials for drug delivery, biosensors, and contamination-resistant surfaces. Collaborations include industry partners like BlueScope and academic institutions. She supervises PhD and Master’s students in areas like protein misfolding, graphene oxide interactions, and antimicrobial surface design. Her impact includes innovations in nanomaterials for biomedical and industrial applications.
