Our research spans the areas of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and materials science and focuses on the development of functional inorganic materials which exhibit novel electronic, optical and magnetic phenomena. Potential applications range from the capture of greenhouse gases to sensors, optoelectronics devices and photocatalysis. The key aspect is gaining an understanding of the fundamental relationships between the structural features of the solution- and solid-state materials and their physical properties using a barrage of techniques.
GROUP MEETINGS: Held jointly with Prof Cameron Kepert's group on Mondays at 11 am in the Level 3 Tutorial Room (interested students are very welcome to attend and learn more about our work!)
APPLY NOW FOR SUMMER VACATION SCHOLARSHIPS! If you are currently a student studying intermediate chemistry and are curious about research, you should apply for a 6-week scholarship opportunity in the group over the summer. Applications for the 2011-12 summer vacation have now closed.
POSTDOCTORAL POSTIONS OPENING SOON - WATCH THIS SPACE!
PHD AND HONOURS PROJECTS NOW AVAILABLE! Come and talk to me about projects and scholarships available.
Prospective Honours Students: Please attend the information session on September 21st at 1-2 pm in LT2 to find out more about the 2012 Honours programme. See the list of potential Honours projects here. Relocation scholarships are available for students seeking to move and undertake Honours at USyd. Full details are available here.
Prospective PhD Students: Please discuss potential PhD projects with me - projects include but are not limited to those listed on my Research page.
- Australian Students: Australian Postgraduate Awards (APAs) and University of Sydney Postgraduate Awards (UPAs) are competitive grants that are awarded on the basis of merit. If you are a current Honours student at an Australian university, please keep in mind the October 31st deadline for applications for commencement in early 2012. Full details are available here. Top-up scholarships are also available on a competitive basis to students. Students undertaking projects within my group are eligible for top-ups under the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) programme. Full details are available here. As a PhD student, you are eligible for a number of travel grants to attend national and international conferences, and to support research visits to overseas facilities and laboratories. We regularly visit synchrotron facilities within Australia and overseas.
