Thesis

Carla J. Meledandri is a New Zealand chemistry academic, and in 2020[1] was promoted to Associate Professor at the University of Otago.[2][3]

Academic career

After a 2009 PhD titled 'NMR studies of membrane-bound nanoparticles and nanoparticle assemblies' at the Dublin City University, Meledandri moved to the University of Otago, rising to full professor.[2]

The American-born, Irish-educated Meledandri won the 2017 Prime Minister’s MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize,[4] which came with $200,000 in prize money.[5]

Meledandri's work on nanoparticles includes applications in dental health and energy storage.[6][7][8][9]
