Andrew J. Gross is an estemmed early-career researcher specialising in molecular level surface engineering, electrochemistry and bioelectrocatalysis. He obtained his PhD in electrochemistry on the modification and micro/nanopatterning of planar carbon electrodes with molecular films at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) / The MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology under the direction of Prof. Alison J. Downard. The thesis involved the investigation and understanding of covalent surface modification film properties (organic and organometallic) at the molecular level.
After his PhD, he returned to Europe to one of the UK's leading electrochemistry research groups in both fundamental and applied electrochemistry. the group of Prof. Frank Marken at the University of Bath. He worked on micro/nanogap redox cycling electrochemistry and chemical sensor technology for detection at the nanoscale. Investigations ranged from the development of a rapid clinical sensors for nitrate and amino acids to the elucidation of carbohydrate binding events and nanoelectrochemistry in the absence of electrolyte.
Andrew subsequently joined the research group of Dr. Serge Cosnier in Grenoble. He was awarded a Labex ARCANE postdoc during which he developed redox-active glyconanoparticles for energy conversion in collaboration with the group of Prof. Redouane Borsali at the CERMAV institute on the University of Grenoble campus. In parallel, Andrew also developed commercial and homemade carbon nanotube buckypaper electrodes for electrochemical and bioelectrocatalytic applications. His postdoctoral work in the lab was later financially supported via the ANR France-Japan joint funding call on Molecular Technology.
In October 2018, Andrew was awarded a CNRS permanent junior researcher position (CR) in Section 13. He joined the Biosystems, Electrochemistry and Analytics (BEA) team of Dr. Serge Cosnier at the University of Grenoble.
