Congratulations to recently completed MSc student Georgilett Perez-Bedwell, who won the Australian Journal of Chemistry prize for best oral presentation at last week’s RACI Victorian Inorganic Chemistry Postgraduate Symposium, which was held at La Trobe University. Georgie’s talk was titled “Redox Activity in Cerium(III/IV) Complexes”.
It was a pleasure to be able to give my Margaret Sheil Leadership Award talk at QUT in front of Margaret!
Welcome to new MSc student Xixian Yin, who will be working on redox-active rare earth complexes.
Congratulations to Jett Janetzki on passing the PhD examination for his thesis entitled “Spin Crossover, Valence Tautomerism and Electronic Structure of Transition Metal Complexes Containing Redox-Active Ligands”.
Congratulations to Zahra Zahir on passing the PhD examination for her thesis entitled “Valence Tautomerism in Cobalt-Dioxolene Complexes: A Combined Computational and Experimental Study”.
Welcome to new PhD student Miao Li, who joins us from China. Miao will be researching redox-active rare earth molecular materials.
Congratulations to PhD students Jett Janetzki and Haseena Ismail for winning prizes at the 2023 RACI Victorian Inorganic Chemistry Postgraduate Symposium. Jett won a “best talk” prize for his talk “Biasing Two-Step Spin Crossover using Redox Manipulation” and Haseena won a poster prize for her poster “Exploring Valence Tautomerism in Cobalt Complexes of Bidentate Mixed-Donor (N,O) Redox-Active Ligands”.
Welcome (back) to new Honours student Dominic Brown, whose project will involve getting the photomagnetism capabililty of the new SQUID up and running!
Congratulations to MSc student Stanley Bagio on being awarded an AINSE Honours Award for his project “Elucidation of magnetic relaxation in prolate erbium/ytterbium SMMs”. Stanley will be heading up to the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering at ANSTO next month for his first neutron measurements.
We welcome new MSc students Stanley Bagio and Georgilett Perez-Bedwell. Stanley will be co-supervised by Marcus Giansiracusa and working on lanthanoid single-molecule magnets, while Georgie’s project will focus on redox-activity in cerium complexes with redox-active ligands.
