Education

Caruso received his PhD in 1994 from the University of Melbourne for research on lateral diffusion of amphiphiles in air-water monolayers and Langmuir–Blodgett films. [6]

Career and research

Caruso conducted postdoctoral research at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Chemicals and Polymers. [4] From 1997 to 2002, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellow with Helmuth Möhwald [1] and group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Berlin. [4] [7] Since 2003, he has been a professor at the University of Melbourne and has held ARC Federation and ARC Australian Laureate Fellowships. [4] He was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (FAA) in 2009 [4] and was awarded the Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science by CSIRO in 2013. [4]

Caruso has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers [3] and was on Thomson Reuters’ 2014 list of World's Most Influential Scientific Minds. [4] He is an executive editor of American Chemical Society (ACS) Chemistry of Materials and is on the editorial advisory board of ten other scientific journals. [4]

His work on thin films includes the discovery of metal-phenolic networks in his lab by Prof. Hirotaka Ejima and Dr. Joseph J. Richardson. [8]
