In 1994 he received a PhD for his research into the dynamics of molecules. He then took up a postdoctoral fellowship at the CSIRO Division of Chemicals and Polymers to study how to modify surfaces to enable the detection of specific molecules. In 1997 he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship to work at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Berlin. There he developed a strategy to modify the surface of nano-sized colloid particles, using the technique of self-assembly. The resulting nanoparticles can function in new roles (eg, biosensors) and can be used to fabricate advanced materials. Caruso has received medals from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (2000) and from the Royal Society of Chemistry-Royal Australasian Chemical Institute (2001). In 2002, Caruso received a Federation Fellowship to return to Australia as Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Melbourne.
