Anthony Granville

Dr Anthony Granville is a Lecturer with the School of Chemical Engineering and a researcher in the prestigious Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD).  CAMD is a world-renowned centre for polymer synthesis, characterization, and soft matter research, producing roughly 40 publications per year in high impact journals over the past three years, and over 380 publications with ~10,000 citations in the last 10 years.

As a research in CAMD, Dr Granville's contributions has included the RAFT polymerisation of glycopolymers, surface modification and coatings of substrates for advanced sensor applications, as well as novel polymer synthesis in aqueous media.  He has supervised 4 PhD students, 2 Masters students, and over 30 honours students, including one university medalist and three Australian Postgraduate Award holders.
