Masoud Zhianmanesh is an Associate Researcher in the Plasma BioEngineering Lab at the University of Newcastle. He recently completed his PhD at the University of Sydney, where he pioneered a provisionally patented technique for covalently attaching hydrogels to polymer surfaces using plasma-based surface engineering. His research spans biomedical engineering, materials science, and translational device development. Masoud has contributed to several competitive research projects funded by the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI). His current work focuses on developing innovative wound care technologies, including the SDC Patch, which integrates drug delivery and sensing in a scalable format.
