I am a Senior Research Fellow in Analytical Chemistry and Chief Investigator with the ARC Training Centre for Hyphenated Analytical Separation Technologies (HyTECH). My research in environmental chemistry emphasises Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, contributing to paleoclimate studies through ice core and atmospheric aerosols analysis. I also lead applied research on Tasmanian wood products and collaborate on sustainable technologies, including green solvents and valorisation of biomass residues. My expertise in chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques underpins both environmental research and industrial innovation, enabling interdisciplinary collaborations with national and international partners to address regional and global scientific challenges.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
