Professor Dusan Losic is a distinguished researcher and leader in nanotechnology, renowned for his pioneering work in graphene and 2D materials. He completed his PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Flinders University in 2003, one of Australia’s first in this field. After postdoctoral work, he was awarded an ARC Research Fellowship (2007–2011) to establish independent research at the University of South Australia. In 2012, he joined the University of Adelaide, where he received an ARC Future Fellowship (2012–2017) and has since led groundbreaking programs in advanced materials.

Professor Losic established and directed Australia’s first ARC Research Hub for Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation (2017–2023) and currently serves as Deputy Director of the ARC Research Hub for Advanced Manufacturing with 2D Materials (2022–2027). His prolific research output includes over 510 peer-reviewed publications (including 4 edited books and 400 journal articles), 11 patents and contributions to more than 250 presentations globally, including plenary, keynote and invited talks. His work has attracted over 29,000 citations (h-index: 98), with features on 20 journal covers.

With over $30 million in research funding, including national grants and industry collaborations, Professor Losic has completed more than 50 research projects, half in partnership with industry, leading to six licensed technologies. His innovative approaches span fundamental, applied and translational research, resulting in the creation of advanced nanoscale materials, particularly in graphene. These materials have driven the development of transformative solutions in healthcare, energy, agriculture, environment and industry.
