Fellows, Chris - University of New England - School of Science and Technology

个人简介

In 1998 Chris Fellows completed his PhD studies in free radical polymerisation kinetics at James Cook University in Townsville, North Queensland, under the supervision of A/Prof Ernie Senogles. Chris Fellows moved to the University of Sydney after graduation to begin work on a project funded by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation on the development of novel flocculants and anti-scalants for use in sugar milling. He then joined the Key Centre for Polymers and Colloids at the University of Sydney as Scientific Projects and Education Officer, working in emulsion polymerisation and related areas. In 2000 Chris Fellows was appointed as Lecturer in Hydrocolloids in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney, a half-time position funded by the Molecular Biotechnology Program. During this fixed-term position his involvement in teaching molecular biotechnology led to an interest in applying the techniques and products of free-radical polymerisation to biological systems. Chris Fellows joined the University of New England in 2004, beginning his career as an independent academic, and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2008. He is currently working on a number of collaborative projects in areas related to free-radical polymerisation, application of water-soluble polymers as scale inhibitors, practical problems in surface and interface behaviour, and polymer structure/property relations.

研究领域

Research Interests The fundamental kinetics and mechanism of free-radical polymerisation, in the behaviour of polymers in solution and their interaction with small molecules and colloidal matter, and the application of the products of free-radical polymerisation to problems of biological interest. Some specific areas of interest are: Understanding the role of Lewis Acids in the production of alternating copolymers Understanding the mechanism of polymeric scale inhibitors in controlling inorganic crystallisation Understanding the mechanism of bridging flocculation and optimising the selectivity and effectiveness of bridging flocculants Understanding structure/property relationships in pasta as a functional food
