Inorganic Chemistry

I am an Early Career Researcher in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, where I have ongoing collaborations on bridged metal clusters, transient organic radicals, electron transfer processes, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instrumentation and methods development. As the Scientific Applications Manager of the Centre for Advanced Electron Spin Resonance, CÆSR, I am involved on many different levels with the research needs of centre users, including authorship of grants and publications and supervising graduate student research. My research is generally on the biophysical applications of EPR, with a focus on bioinorganic systems. Bioinorganic studies often involve novel biomimetic metal complexes and this has led to related projects on transition metal complexes that are decidedly non-biological. High-spin Co(II) and other complexes with unquenched orbital momentum have been an ongoing interest, both as a surrogate of the ubiquitous Zn(II) metalloenzymes and on the side of basic studies in transition metal magnetic properties, electronic structure, and coordination chemistry.
