Research interests
Our research interests lie in the area of sustainable catalytic processes, in particular elucidating the underpinning mechanistic details to optimise activity and efficiency, primarily using spectroscopic techniques. This research employs experimental and computational chemistry namely: organometallic chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and free radical reactions (including earth-abundant transitions metals and photoredox catalysis), novel methodology development and in situ reaction monitoring.
Alongside this, we have chemistry education research interests for research-informed teaching and learning including: instructional design, designing inclusive learning environments, learning analytics, systems thinking for context-based learning and sustainable awareness.
