Dr. Duy Quang Pham is a Professional Mechanical Engineer with expertise in surface engineering and coating characterizations, especially in biomaterials coatings for biomedical applications. He has significant hands-on experience in surface engineering using atmospheric plasma spray from designing to operating perspectives. His area of research involves applying emerging surface engineering methods and process innovations to generate new generations of coatings for medical devices. His expertise also associates with material characterization, mechanical testing, fatigue & durability analysis, robot programming, and automation system.
Dr. Pham is now working as a Research Engineer in the area of thermal spray coatings, as well as a Lecturer in Surface Engineering (ADM80007), Materials Engineering (ENG10002) and Materials Processing and Machining (MEE20005) at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. He is a certified Mechanical Engineer and a Member of the Institution of Engineers Australia (MIEAust) in the School of Mechanical and Biomedical engineering. He also serves as an Associate Investigator at the Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Center (ARC ITTC) of Surface Engineering for Advanced Materials (SEAM). He previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University, and Flinders Medical Center in Adelaide, South Australia.
Dr. Pham obtained his B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering-Mechatronics from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), Vietnam. He has five years of professional engineering experience, where he worked for Kimberly-Clark Corporation focusing on production as well as research for personal care and family care products. Pham then completed his Master of Engineering from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, graduating in the top 15% of students with the highest academic achievement. He then worked at CSIRO in Manufacturing Flagships as a Research Officer before receiving an offer for a full scholarship to do his Ph.D. at Swinburne University of Technology.as a SEAM affiliated candidate.
Dr. Pham has extensive experience in cold plasma technology and plasma-made nanostructure, microbial sterilization, and other applications by building various cold plasma systems. These novel made-plasma systems generate novel antibacterial surfaces in combination with biomaterials to treat and prevent infectious diseases. His research focuses on the utilization of plasma technology as a useful nonthermal technique for applications in biology and medicine. The implementations for using cold plasma can be applied in various fields including (i) Medicine: sterilization, wound healing, and disease treatment; (ii) Food: decontamination, enzyme inactivation, and toxin degradation; (iii) Polymer: sterilization, surface modification, and surface functionalization.
