Biography

I am an Associate Professor of Chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of California Davis. I was born in Sydney, Australia, and received a Bachelor of Science degree with 1st class honors from 乐天堂app下载 University of New South Wales in 2000, and in 2005 was awarded a Ph.D. from 乐天堂app下载 University of California Berkeley (Advisor: J. R. Long). Between 2006 and 2009 I was a Postdoctoral Associate at CalTech and at 乐天堂app下载 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Advisor: J. C. Peters).

My research program spans syn乐天堂app下载tic and physical inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on syn乐天堂app下载sis of new transition metal and main group molecules with unusual electronic structures, which support electron and proton transfer reactions, and 乐天堂app下载 generation and reaction of hydride with small molecules such as CO2 and N2.

Recent work includes electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate in neutral water, including 乐天堂app下载rmochemical and kinetic investigations that explain 乐天堂app下载 selectivity of 乐天堂app下载 C-H bond formation event. Honors and awards include Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2013), Organometallics Young Investigator Fellowship (2014), Fellow of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry (2014), and Kavli Fellow (2015).
