Philipp Reineck

Philipp Reineck is a Vice Chancellor's Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University's School of Science in Melbourne, Australia. He holds a PhD in Materials Engineering from Monash University (2014) and an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (2019). His research focuses on fluorescent nanomaterials, particularly nanodiamonds, for bioimaging, sensing, and quantum technologies. Key areas include quantum sensing, nanoparticle self-assembly, and plasmonics.

Education: B.Sc. Physics (LMU Munich), PhD (Monash University, 2014).

Research Interests:

• Fluorescent nanomaterials (nanodiamonds, silicon carbide)
• Optical defects in wide-bandgap materials
• Quantum sensing applications in biology and engineering
• Colloid chemistry and self-assembly

Recent Research Trends: Articles emphasize nanodiamond-based sensing (magnetic fields, temperature), bioimaging standards, and environmental applications (wastewater treatment). Quantum systems in 2D materials like hexagonal boron nitride are also explored.

Awards: Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (2019).

Teaching & Supervision: Coordinates 'The Professional Scientist' and physics lab courses. Supervises projects on nanodiamond sensors, quantum batteries, and bioimaging phantoms.

Labs/Teams: Reineck Research Group develops nanomaterials for quantum and biomedical applications, with collaborations in photonics and materials engineering.
