Graduate Students
Blair Welsh
Zach Levey
PhD student working on REMPI, studying the spectroscopy of astrochemically relevant molecules including PAH radicals and cations. Experimental work is coupled with quantum chemical calculations to provide a complete investigation of the spectroscopy of these molecules.
Lorrie Jacob
Masters student primarily working on FTIR focusing on the photodissociation of acetone, an abundant ketone in the atmosphere.
Maria Paula Pérez-Pena
PhD. Candidate working in evaluating untested photochemistry of carbonyls with comprehensive models (from box models to 3D atmospheric models). I am interested in all atmospheric modelling related endeavours.
Cameron Dover
A PhD student with expertise in spectroscopy and Nanoscience, specifically surface chemistry and nanomaterials. He aims to combine conventional silicon-based solar technology with a singlet fission medium through the use of a precisely engineered and characterised interface, with goals of improving solar cell photo-current and overall efficiency
Jyoti Campbell
PhD student primarily working on VMI studying molecular dynamics focusing on photodissociation of new refrigerant degradation products.
Honours Students
Joshua Thomson
Honours student, currently undertaking a project investigating the atmospheric photolysis of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
