Celine Chaleat

Dr Céline Chaléat is a Research Fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of Queensland. Her research explores how biopolymers and biomass-derived materials can be transformed into sustainable, high-performance products for real-world applications. Céline’s expertise spans the full lifecycle of bioplastic materials development, from formulation and manufacturing through to performance evaluation and end-of-life analysis.

With a diverse background in translational research across both academia and industry, she focuses on bridging the gap between scientific discovery and practical implementation. Her current research encompasses biopolymers, biocomposites and controlled-release systems. Through close collaboration with industry partners, Céline helps transform research outcomes into scalable, commercially viable, and environmentally responsible technologies. Her current work centres on developing an innovative biopolymer bolus for the controlled release of active compounds in cattle to reduce methane emissions across Australian livestock systems.
