Vincent Craig
Regular biography
Professor Vincent Craig is a Professor in the Department of PHY at The Australian National University. His research interests include Bubble Coalescence in Aqueous Electrolyte solutions, Nanobubbles, Surface forces with a focus on studying novel surfaces to understand the fundamental interactions, and Kinetics of adsorption of surfactants and polymers. He completed both his B.Sc. (Honours in Chemistry, 1993) and Ph.D. degrees at the ANU before postdoctoral positions at UC Davis, California and the University of Newcastle, NSW. He has published over 120 fully refereed journal papers which have been cited over 9000 times for a H factor of 46. He was formerly the Head of the Department from Jan 2009-Jan 2012 and is currently on an ARC Future Fellowship.
Scholar-generated biography
Vincent S J Craig is a researcher at the Australian National University, specializing in Colloid and Interface Science, with a focus on Wetting, Bubbles, Hydrophobic, and Surface Forces. His work explores the behavior of nanobubbles, boundary slip in Newtonian liquids, and the impact of electrolytes on bubble coalescence. Craig's research also investigates the electrochemical control of liquids on submillimeter scales and the role of specific ion effects in interfacial phenomena. His studies contribute to understanding the physical properties of nanobubbles on hydrophobic surfaces and the mechanisms of surfactant adsorption at solid–aqueous interfaces.
