个人简介

After completing my PhD, in the area of inorganic chemistry, at the University of Newcastle in 1995 I was appointed as postdoctoral research fellow within the group of Prof. André E. Merbach at the Insitut de Chimie Minéral et Analytique, Université de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. During this time my research concentrated on the use of both high and ambient pressure stopped-flow techniques in the elucidation of complex reaction mechanisms. From 1998 - 2002 I worked on a number of industrially funded projects (AMIRA Project P497A Cyanide Waste Management and AMIRA Project P420B, Gold Processing Technology) within the A.J. Parker Cooperative Research Centre for Hydrometallurgy at Murdoch University in Perth, WA. The projects were/are supported by a cross-section of Australian, South African and North American gold producing companies (Brokered by the Australian Mineral Industries Research Association Ltd) with my research focusing on the management of cyanide within gold ore processing operations. In January 2003 I accepted the position of lecturer in Chemistry at the University of New England and maintained my research links with the AJ Parker CRC for Hydrometallurgy through being appointed as Honorary Visiting Researcher In August 2003. I was promoted to senior lecturer in 2009.

研究领域

The broad area of research interest is in the study of solution chemistry with particular emphasis on the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics of environmentally and/or industrially important systems. The following are more specific areas of interest: The application of stopped-flow techniques in the elucidation of reaction mechanisms. The application of diode array, fibre optic and immersion probe technology for remote sensing applications. This could be either in the laboratory or on-site. The effect of high electrolyte concentrations on solution equilibria / dynamics. The application of chemometric techniques to complex data analysis from a range systems and instruments and the development of computer programs for the nonlinear least-squares fitting of complex, multivariate chemical measurements, applications in equilibrium and kinetic studies. Modelling of complex industrial and environmental systems. Supramolecular chemistry in the area of molecular recognition and self assembly.
