Chair of Special Governance Committee – Outreach

Julie Karel, Chief Investigator, Monash University, an LGBTIQ Ally

CI Dr Julie Karel conducts research at the intersection of materials science and condensed matter physics to develop new materials for emerging low-energy nanoelectronic and magnetoelectronic devices. Her approach to materials design is to utilise complete structural disorder to modify the magnetic and electronic properties of materials. Within FLEET, Dr Karel will primarily be involved in Research theme 1, Topological materials and Enabling Technology B, Nanodevice fabrication, working closely with both CIs Nagy Valanoor at UNSW and Lan Wang at RMIT. She will use her expertise in ionic liquid gating and electronic and magneto-transport to study multiferroic materials (Valanoor) and materials exhibiting large spin orbit torques (Wang).

Julie is an LGBTIQ Ally.
