Francesco Caruso FRS FAA[3] is Melbourne Laureate Professor and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Senior Principal Research Fellow in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia.[2][4] Caruso is Deputy Director of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nanoscience and Technology.[3][5][1]

Education

Caruso received his PhD in 1994 from the University of Melbourne for research on lateral diffusion of amphiphiles in air-water monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett films.[6]

Career and research

Caruso conducted postdoctoral research at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Chemicals and Polymers.[3] From 1997–2002, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellow with Helmuth Möhwald[1] and group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Berlin.[3][7] Since 2003, he has been a professor at the University of Melbourne and has held ARC Federation and ARC Australian Laureate Fellowships.[3] He was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (FAA) in 2009[3] and was awarded the Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science by CSIRO in 2013.[3]

Caruso has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers[4] and was on Thomson Reuters’ 2014 list of World's Most Influential Scientific Minds.[3] He is an executive editor of American Chemical Society (ACS) Chemistry of Materials and is on the editorial advisory board of ten other scientific journals.[3]
