Rate My Professor Luke Henderson

Henderson's contributions have been recognized with the R.K. Murphy Medal from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute in 2025 for industrial chemistry achievements and the Australian Research Council Mid-Career Industry Fellowship in 2023. He serves on the Editorial Board of Composites Science and Technology published by Elsevier. Among his influential publications are "Design rules for enhanced interfacial shear response in functionalized carbon fiber epoxy composites" (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2017), "Electrochemical surface modification of carbon fibres by grafting of amine, carboxylic and lipophilic amide groups" (Carbon, 2017), "A review of solvate ionic liquids: Physical parameters and synthetic applications" (Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019), "Carbon fibre surface chemistry and its role in fibre-to-matrix adhesion" (Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2021), and "A review of milled carbon fibres in composite materials" (Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2022). He has obtained substantial funding, including over $1 million from the ARC for recycled carbon fibre technology. Henderson teaches chemistry at all levels, supervises PhD students, and delivered a public lecture on carbon fibre surface chemistry at the Pint of Science Festival in 2022.
