Dr. Vini Gautam is an ARC DECRA fellow at the John Curtin School of Medical Research at the Australian National University, Canberra. She received her Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (India) in the year 2014, during which she worked on integrating optoelectronic materials with blind retinas for application in bionic vision implants. She has an experience of experimental techniques in both materials science and neurophysiology, and she currently collaborates with researchers across physics, chemistry, engineering and neuroscience. Vini's current research interests focus on biointerfacing of advanced materials for developing neuroprosthetic implants, and exploring novel biomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications.
