Spinks, Geoff - University of Wollongong - School of Mechanical, Materials and Mechatronic Engineering

个人简介

Geoffrey Spinks was appointed as Lecturer at the University of Wollongong in December 1989 and was subsequently promoted to Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor (2004). He received his PhD from the University of Melbourne in 1990 for his work on the mechanical behaviour of polymers and has maintained a research interest in this area specialising in mechanical actuator materials. He has published over 180 journal papers, including five papers in Science, five papers in Nature family journals and 9 papers in Advanced Materials. As at June 2014, he had a total of 6800 citations and an "h-index" of 37. He is ranked in the top 1% of scientists included in the Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators Scientist Rankings (all fields). During his academic career, Prof Spinks has been actively involved in teaching and administration. He was the co-founder of the Bachelor of Nanotechnology degree courses and has served as Discipline Advisor and Research Centre Director. Geoff has worked closely with industry including sabbatical leave with BHP Research and Allied Signal Inc. (USA) and collaborative projects funded through the ARC Linkage and CRC schemes. His current interests include new product development (such as the ¿Lymph Sleeve¿) and new manufacturing methods (such as 3D printing) that utilise his artificial muscle materials. He is currently engaged in full time research as an ARC Professorial Research Fellow and is also Leader, Manufacturing Innovation in the University of Wollongong¿s Global Challenge Program. The publication list below is from 2000 onwards.
