Henry, David - Murdoch University - School of Engineering and Information Technology

研究领域

My expertise is in the area of Physical Chemistry, Materials simulation and Computational Chemistry and involves applying an extensive range of methodologies including electronic first principles and forcefield / classical methods to chemical, biological and materials related problems. My current research involves using computational and theoretical methods to (i) develop gallium-based nano-catalysts, (ii) investigate the stability and reactivity of metal complexes under physiological conditions and (iii) design pigments for heat insulating coatings. In addition to my own research group I maintain a number of collaborations both within Murdoch University as well as across industry (Bluescope Steel) and other institutions (RMIT University and Kyoto University). These collaborations include: An experimental research project with Professors Bernie Dell (Agricultural and Fisheries Sciences, Murdoch) and Richard Harper (Agricultural and Fisheries Sciences, Murdoch) identifying and quantifying deep soil carbon in Western Australian soils, A joint project with Professor Irene Yarovsky (RMIT) and Bluescope Steel designing Environmentally Responsive Clean Coatings, A collaboration with Professor Sati Bhattacharya (RMIT) to investigate near-infrared pigments and A collaboration with Professor Akitomo Tachibana (Kyoto) to explore the physical chemistry of main-group metal particles.
