Daniel Goldstein was born in Australia in 1982. He went to school in Switzerland but returned to Sydney to obtain his B.Sc. in Nanotechnology at the University of NSW. He completed his honours thesis on the surface attachment of antibacterial furanones in 2006 under the supervision of Professor Naresh Kumar, and is currently in his third year of a Ph.D. working with Dr Pall Thordarson on the bioconjugation of proteins for biofuel cell devices. His research interests include nanotechnology, biomimicry, and research and development of solar and biofuel cells.

Pall Thordarson obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Iceland in 1996 and a Ph.D. from The University of Sydney in 2001, followed by a Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He returned to Australia in 2003 and obtained an ARC Australian Research Fellow at The University of Sydney in 2006. He was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at the University of NSW in 2007, where he leads a research group of 10 working on self-assembled gels for drug delivery and light-activated bioconjugates for biosensors and energy production. He was awarded the NSWYoung Tall Poppy Science Award in 2008.

Joshua Peterson obtained his B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) in 1995. After several years in the biotechnology industry developing protein purification processes for clinical and commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing, he returned to academia and completed a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Sydney in 2009. His research interests include the application of biochemistry, chemistry and other disciplines in the development of medical devices, biomaterials, biosensors and biofuel cells.
