Dr. Shankar Dutt | Nanobiotechnologist
Research Fellow at ANU pioneering AI-integrated point-of-care diagnostics using solid-state nanopore biosensors for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases and environmental contaminants.
Just launched my new personal website and I'm really happy with how it turned out π
I work on AI-integrated nanopore biosensors at ANU to detect diseases like Alzheimer's from a simple blood sample.
If you're into biosensing, nanotech, or ML for diagnostics β come say hi:

A man standing up in a crowded room of people sitting. He is dressed in workman's clothes and has his head raised as if speaking up when not necessarily belonging there.
We are a rich enough country to be funding 37% of all basic research proposals, not just considering "the best" 37% and then maybe only funding 12% in the end.

Check out our new paper in Carbon on flash laser heating of glassy carbon up to 35 GPa doi.org/10.1016/j.ca...
We mapped diamond formation pathways near the triple point and found a richness in microstructures that surprise us (the aligned graphite plates stole my heart -see pic)!

Very much enjoying being at a high pressure conference in beautiful Matsuyama, Japan this week. The region is known for its oranges- hence the logo of the meeting which is an orange / high pressure cell. 10/10 π

10 Years of Gravitational Wave Science: The Australian Story
Ten years ago, in 2015, we heard the universe for the very first time.
Gravitational waves, once a prediction of Einsteinβs theory, had finally been detected in an event labelled GW150914. It was aβ¦
A decade ago, we heard the universe for the first time. Gravitational waves changed physics forever. Hereβs how Australia helped make it happen.
