Professor Bilek is an ARC Laureate Fellow. She is Professor of Applied Physics and Surface Engineering at the University of Sydney and heads the Applied Physics and Surface Engineering Research Group within the School of Physics and the School of Biomedical Engineering. She also serves as associate editor for the Journal of Applied Physics. She is internationally recognised for her work on environmentally-friendly plasma-based processes that create new materials and surface modifications. Professor Marcela Bilek holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, a BSc from the University of Sydney and an MBA from the Rochester Institute of Technology, USA. Prior appointments include visiting Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, USA, visiting Professor at the Technische Universitat Hamburg-Harburg in Germany and Research Fellow at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, UK.

Research interests

Her research projects are a stimulating mix of fundamental physics and practical applications, in areas which include materials physics and engineering, plasma deposition and processing, thin film materials, renewable and sustainable energy and cross-disciplinary research in the areas of biointerfaces and medicine. She has published over 350 articles in international refereed journals, 1 book (now in its 2nd edition), 5 book chapters and 15 patents. Her patents include coatings that were commercialised for use on read write heads of hard disks; a cathodic arc plasma thruster that can be refuelled using space-junk and a new generation of organic surfaces and nanoparticles that covalently couple functional biological molecules spontaneously from aqeous solution without the need for any further reagents. These unique materials represent a major advance for prescriptive biointerfaces as they can be finely tuned to promote desired biological responses across a broad spectrum of in vivo and in vitro applications.

Teaching and supervision

Professor Bilek has contributed to undergraduate teaching at all levels teaching mechanics, electromagnetism, electromagnetic properties of materials, advanced engineering materials, nanoscience, materials and plasma physics. She has supervised 35 PhD students to completion and mentored 25 post-doctoral fellows and early career researchers. Through engagement with local schools she raises awareness of the impact of stereotype threat on the participation of women in STEM and helps to develop mitigation strategies.

Vacuum Glazing Research agreement between Nippon Sheet Glass Co Ltd and the University of Sydney, Bilek M, Kawahara H, Misono M, Yokoyama Y, Nippon Sheet Glass Co Ltd/Research Grants

Professor Bilek's work has led to numerous patents that have been or are being commercialised, including plasma sources for space craft propulsion and protective coatings for magnetic storage devices; biofunctionalized organic nanoparticles for imaging and targeting probes for diagnostics and drug delivery; biomolecule and hydrogel patterned, cell-instructive cell culture surfaces for biomedical research and personalised medicine; plasma treatment processes for uniform surface functionalisation of high-surface-area-to-volume porous materials and scaffolds; and localised plasma sources for biofunctionalization within 3D bioprinting. She builds multidisciplinary teams, working together with industry partners and clinicians to deploy these new technologies to address unmet needs. She is passionate aboutbringing science to the table to inform decisions in public life and promote evidence led governance.
