Biography
ScientiaProfessor Justin Gooding is a Scientia Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales and is currently an National Health and Medical Research Council Leadership Fellow and was previously an Australian
Research Council Australian Laureate Fellow (2015-2020) and he has just been
awarded an Australian Research Council Australian Industry Laureate Fellow. He
is also a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and the Australian
Academy of Technological Science and Engineering (ATSE). He is the 2024 recipient of the David Craig Medal from the Academy of Science, a 3 time Eureka Prize winner and 2 time winner of the International Biosensors and Bioelectronics
award amongst many other awards. He is the inaugural editor-in-chief of the journal ACS Sensors. He is the formerfounding co-director of the Australian Centre for NanoMedicine and the co-director of the New South Wales Smart Sensing Network.
He leads aresearch team of over 40 researchers interested in surface modification and nanotechnology for biosensors for medical applications, electrocatalysis and 3D cell printing. He has extensive collaborative experience with start-up companies and has been involved in the commercialisation of glucose biosensors, 3D bioprinters and an in vivo sensing platform for therapeutic drugmonitoring.

Professor Xing Yi Ling
Nanyang Technological University
Biography
Xing Yi Ling is a Professor of Chemistry from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Jiangnan University China. She received her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of Twente, the Netherlands, and her postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley. She is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry and received the Singapore National Research Foundation Investigatorship, Nanyang Award for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, L’ORÉAL Singapore for Women in Science National Fellowship, Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship, IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists, and etc. In January 2024, Xing Yi assumes the Editor-in-Chief position of the ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and Applied Materials portfolio, a family of eight journals focused on materials, interfacial processes, and their applications. She is on the editorial boards of Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry of Materials, Nanoscale Horizons, Cell Reports Physical Science, and ChemPlusChem. Her research focuses on using nanotechnology for fundamental studies and applications in environmental, healthcare, and catalysis fields. In particular, she is interested in self-assembling shape-controlled noble metal nanoparticles into superlattices to impart new structure-to-function properties and applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).
