Supervision of undergraduate laboratory classes. I ensured that individual gropu demonstrators were familiar with the equipment for each experiment, and circulated amongst up to 8 individual groups ensuring that students were wearing correct PPE at all times and were generally conducting themselves in a safe manner.I checked that every student had completed the appropriate pre-laboratory exercises.Provided an extra pair of hands for up to 5 experiments during any given classs.

Project scientist on station 11.3.1/12.2.1 at the Advanced Light Source.Assisting users to collect, process, refine and finalise their crystallographic data collections. I also run data collection experiments for users who prefer our mail-in service. My own research is conducted using an in-house built gas cell, allowing for crystals to be desolvated and gas loaded on the beamline to observe how gas molecules interact with frameworks and how dehydration may induce structural transitions… Show more Project scientist on station 11.3.1/12.2.1 at the Advanced Light Source.Assisting users to collect, process, refine and finalise their crystallographic data collections.

Demonstrated 1st year Fundamentals of Chemistry, 2nd year Environmental Chemistry, 3rd year Inorganic and Physical Chemistry.Senior demonstrator for 1st year Chemistry classes.

I worked for Prof. Russell Morris, as the chemistry side of an interdisciplinary investigation into using coordination polymers as gas delivery systems for medical applications.My work also involved synthesis and crystallographic characterisation of novel coordination polymers, to investigate their storage capacity for biologically active gases.

Synthesis and structural investigations into the hydrogen bonding interactions between 5-alkyl triazinones.Synthesis of novel chiral ligands for preparing chiral coordination polymers.Projects involved crystallograpic work on beam lines MX1 and MX2 at the Australian Synchrotron, and the KOALA beam line at ANSTO
