In analytical chemistry, Dr Windsor analysed the amount of methylglyoxal and dihydroxyacetone in Australian Leptospermum polygalifolium honeys via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This technique was extended to include the analysis of hydroxymethylfurfural content in a student research project with Kristyn Kavazos. Dr Windsor also collaborated with Dr Peter Brooks (USC) on analysing the concentration of know bioactives in Leptospermum essential oils from Sunshine Coast and Northern Rivers New South Wales Regions via gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Drs Windsor and Brooks and their PhD student, Daniel Meloncelli, used a combination of HPLC and GC-MS techniques to differentiate between the chemical finger prints of Manuka honeys from Tasmania and New Zealand and Leatherwood and Manuka honeys from Tasmania. Dr Windsor supervised another student research project with Amanda Neilen investigating the active ingredients in African and Australian insect repellents via GC-MS. Dr Windsor is currently collaborating with Prof David Schoeman to analyse the amounts of nutrients in beach sands and water. In science education, Dr Windsor collaborated with Professor Noel Meyers and Drs David McKay and Kerry Rutter to investigate the development and delivery of the chemistry major at USC. Dr Windsor has just completed a project comparing the affective and effective gains of on and off campus regional engagement chemistry experiments for students in their penultimate year of schooling. Dr Windsor is currently working on the Regional Universities Network Digital Classroom project.
