Experimental Physical Chemist

I got inspired to study Chemistry by my high school teacher, who used to say: “the main difference between kitchens and chemistry labs, is that one should never lick their spatulas in one”. I completed my undergraduate degree and PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Sydney, Australia. Throughout my studies, I’ve been fascinated by how we can create new substances and, at the same time, figure out how and why they behave the way they do on a molecular level.
