Biography
Nasim Amiralian is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Australian Institute for Materials Engineer - Nanocellulose University of Queensland. Amiralian’s general research themes are processing and structure-property performance of novel nanomaterials, renewable-based polymers and nanocomposites.One of her key research aims is to translate the strong fundamental science and engineering taking place in her research towards validated value propositions and commercial applications.Amiralian is an inventor and key researcher of a spinifex-derived cellulose nanofibre technology at the University of Queensland. She has demonstrated that very tough, flexible, high aspect ratio cellulose nanofibrils can be produced through the use of simple, cost effective, and environmentally friendly methods. Currently, her research program has predominately focused on the processing and optimisation of cellulose nanofibres and also investigations into various applications of nanocellulose such as elastomeric composites, non-woven filtration media, and renewable carbon fibre.
