Education
1990 - 1993: Bachelor of Science (Hons), University of Melbourne, Australia.
1994 - 1998: Doctor of Philosophy, School of Chemistry, University of Melbourne, Australia.
Topic: Oxidised and six electron-reduced metatungstate: synthesis, structure and redox chemistry.
Supervisor: Professor Tony Wedd.
1999 - 2001: Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, USA;
Topic: Synthesis and Characterisation of polynuclear Mn-carboxylate complexes as high-spin molecules and single-molecule magnets.
With Professor George Christou.
Research field
The synthesis of transition metal spin clusters and possible single-molecule magnets; in particular those featuring polydentate
ligands that can function in both chelating and bridging capacities.
The structural, chemical and physical characterisation of these species via single crystal and powder
X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, inelastic neutron scattering, NMR and EPR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry.
