Programming (in) Self-assembly and Systems Chemistry »
Our work is driven by understanding and learning from nature how its chemistry works so we synthesise new systems and materials that do complex tasks but outside the boundaries that life puts on those task.

Directors Seminar | Carbon-rich porphyrins »
Porphyrins belong to the most important classes of functional materials. These unique ligands play fundamental roles in Nature in, for example, energy and oxygen processing (. photosynthesis and respiration). Thus, these macrocycles are aptly characterized as “pigments of life”.

2018 Birch Lecture - Professor Kris Matyjaszewski - Carnegie Mellon University »
Macromolecular Engineering (ME) can be defined as a process comprising rational design of (co)polymers with specific architecture and functionality, followed by precise and efficient polymer synthesis and processing in order to prepare advanced materials with target properties. Preparative ME requires controlled / living polymerization. Radical polymerization could be very well suited for ME due to tolerance to many functionalities. Unfortunately, free radicals are difficult to be controlled, have very short life times (

RSC Industry Seminar - What is WTI and how did I get here? »
Thirteen years after moving to Australia to pursue an academic career in organic chemistry, I find myself working for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in a role I didn’t even know existed and working on jobs that I can’t talk about. So how did I get here? Is this really a good career for someone with a PhD? Are there other similar jobs out there? What do I do? What can I talk about? Do I make a difference?
