Sonali S Naik (AcSIR-India/RMIT University)
Poster 4: Harnessing sustainable biomedical solutions with biodegradable Pectin-g-PCL
Sonali S Naik is a final-year PhD student in a joint program between AcSIR-India and RMIT Australia. She completed her bachelor’s degree in biotechnology and is now pursuing her PhD at RMIT. She specialises in the synthesis and fabrication of scaffolds, which are crucial for tissue regeneration and repair. Her work extensively involves the use of additive manufacturing technology, to create these scaffolds.

Donya Ramimoghadam (CSIRO)
Poster 14: A degradable polyurethane thermoset using acylhydrazone chemistry
Donya Ramimoghadam is a CSIRO postdoc research fellow (CERC) working on “recyclable thermoset polymers”. She previously worked as postdoctoral research fellow at RMIT university on thermoresponsive epoxies. Donya pursued her PhD on “Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Hydrogen Storage” from Griffith University. She has developed various functionalised polymeric materials, porous materials for gas storage, mixed matrix membranes for gas separation, and surface-modified nanostructures, etc. She is also well-experienced in wide range of materials characterisation.
