Chiara Neto is an Italian Australian chemist and Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Sydney.
She is the former President of the Australasian Colloid and Interface Society and was selected as an Australian Research Council Future Fellow in 2018.
Such nanostructured materials can be used in situations where repelling liquids and preventing fouling is advantageous, for example, the food industry.
[3] In certain scenarios, such as ships moving through water, the flow of fluids against solid surfaces is crucial for performance.
[5] By engineering the topography of solid surfaces, Neto can precisely control and study the flow of fluids that interact with them.
