个人简介

I obtained my PhD in Analytical Chemistry in 2004 from the University of Washington (Seattle, Washington, USA) with Professor James B. Callis, where I developed thin-film microphones, wind tunnel models, oxygen-sensitive paints, and sensors to study insect flight. My first post-doctoral position was at Ireland’s National Centre for Sensor Research, where I developed autonomous sensors for soil and freshwater monitoring. My second post-doctoral position was at the University of Otago (New Zealand), where I develop instrumentation to study the effects of climate change on the oceans. Before moving to Armidale in 2013, I was an Assistant Professor of Environmental Analytical chemistry at Clark University.

Research Interests The effect of anthropogenic CO2 on our marine ecosystems Since the industrial revolution, the oceans have absorbed about 1/3 of the anthropogenic CO2 released to the atmosphere. While this has reduced the effect of CO2 emissions on climate change, it is also changing the chemistry of the world's oceans. When CO2 is absorbed by seawater it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which dissociates to H+ and bicarbonate (HCO3-). The H+ reacts with carbonate ions (CO32-), forming additional bicarbonate. The net reaction, referred to as ocean acidification, is to increase the concentration of H+ (decreasing the seawater pH) and to reduce the concentration of carbonate. Our group is developing new field-deployable sensors to measure fine-scale changes in carbonate chemistry and to study ocean acidification's impact on the structure of vulnerable calcifying organisms.
