Biography

After receiving undergraduate and PhD qualifications from The University of Newcastle, I have held postdoctoral positions at The University of Newcastle (Australia) and Kyoto University (Japan), and held a Fukui Fellowship at the Fukui Institute for Fundamental Chemistry (Kyoto University) between 2009 and 2012. In 2012 I took on a University Fellowship at The University of Newcastle in the Discipline of Chemical Engineering (Priority Research Centre for Energy), before taking on a Lectureship in the Discipline of Chemistry. My research focuses on the investigation of chemical phenomena using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and quantum chemical methods. My research has resulted in the publication of 1 book, 2 book chapters and over 60 internationally peer-reviewed journal and conference papers. My research has recently been featured on the cover of Accounts of Chemical Research, Journal of Physical Chemistry and ChemPhysChem.
