About

Science and research leader creating and delivering breakthrough technologies in nanoelectronics, sensors, and medical technologies. Focused on translating technology for healthcare, to bring science fiction to reality.

Led and coordinated a $60 million multi-user, inter-disciplinary research facility and currently enabling medical device prototying and small volume manufacture. Active contributor to science policy with a focus on innovation and long-term strategy, early- and mid-career researchers, and diversity and inclusion.

Professor Sharath Sriram jointly leads a team in 'Functional Materials and Microsystems' that translates discoveries at extremely small size scales into technology for electronics, communication, and biomedicine. He was the Scientific Coordinator and Founding Deputy Director of RMIT University's Micro Nano Research Facility. He is currently the Director of the Discovery to Device facility at RMIT University. He is the recipient of several awards for leadership and research excellence.

 

Professor Sriram contributes extensively to science policy and advocacy. He is the current President of the national peak body Science & Technology Australia, and has served on the Board of Science & Technology Australia since 2018. He delivered a National Press Club address on research translation, a connected innovation ecosystem, and mechanisms to maximise Australian R&D investment.
