Dr. Naimeh Naseritaheri
Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow and TWAS Young Affiliate with a PhD in experimental condensed matter physics. For over 12 years, she has combined teaching, research, and leadership in novel materials for clean energy (electro/photo-catalysis, energy storage) and biomedical sensing at the micro- to nanoscale. She has co-/supervised 4 postdoctoral researchers, 10 PhD and 12 MSc students in her previous academic positions, and has continued this role at Monash University. Currently a Senior Research Fellow at Monash, she secures and directs competitive projects, builds academic–industry partnerships, and mentors emerging scientists. She has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed papers. Beyond research, she is committed to bridging fundamental understanding of physical and chemical phenomena with real-world applications, actively cultivating international networks, promoting a culture of standardization and laboratory accreditation to facilitate translation to industry, and propagating science into the public sphere through outreach and engagement.
