RESEARCH INTERESTS
Prof Kong has a broad research interest in micro and nanofabrications and
systems. His key interests include: micro and nanosystems using microfluidics
and nanofluidics for biomedical and environmental applications; and micro and
nano characterization. He attracted more than $5 million funds from National
Competitive Grants schemes. He was awarded an early career researcher from ARC
and AAS in 2003 and a Roger Pysden Memorial Fellowship from Australian
Business Limited in 2002, and an Australia Award - Endeavour Executive Awards
in 2010. His innovative PCRDisc device has won a gold medal from ITEX2009, an
iENA Special Award for Best Invention and iENA gold medal, and a JIPA Award
for the Best Invention in Biotechnology.
### Current projects:
