Career Summary

Biography

Research Expertise
My research expertise is two-fold.

1. Surface Chemistry and Organic films on Surfaces.

I currently work within the Centre for Organic Electronics. Over my career I have made significant contributions in knowledge in reactions on surfaces involving water, the structure of surfaces and nanostructures, and biofunctionalized films for device technology. This includes many studies on chiral catalysis. 

2. Teaching Pedagogy in Physics with the focus on enhancing student experience in first year.  I am particularly interested in first year teaching practice and have participated in several workshops and 1st year teaching conferences.

I have been awarded ethics approval, and published several papers on STEM education practice which have influenced the restructure of the new Bachelor of Science and Physics Subjects therein at the University of Newcastle.

Teaching Expertise

I have taught all courses in Physics at the University of Newcastle, including Phys1200, Phys1205, Phys1210, Phys1220, Phys1250, Phys2170, Phys2160, Phys3330, Phys3345, Phys3310, Phys3990 as well as HUBS2105, STAT1070, MRSC1010, SCIM2030, OHSE6060.

Summer Scholarship Program for 1st year Physics students $13000 from School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (2017).
Faculty Teaching Grants for blended learning and marketing in first year physics (2017) $5000
Remote Labs development Grant – 3rd year MAPS Teaching Grants (2017) $5000
University of Newcastle, Centre of Teaching and Learning, funding for “multichoice mobile app” (2012) $2000.
University of Newcastle, Faculty of Science and IT Award for Teaching Excellence in 2009-2010.

Teaching developments

  • Developed demonstrations for 1st year physics classes. This has been shown to improve student satisfaction of courses and retention of core knowledge (Awarded Faculty Teaching award for this work)
  • Developed a cross platform mobile phone teaching app that allows lecturers to receive instant feedback in class for multiple choice questions. Currently used by the Faculty of Science and Mathematics at Newcastle. This technology is focussed on utilising the peer instruction methodology where students work together and answer calculation and concept problems. Using the app allows both students and instructors to see whether they understand the material.

The short answer section of the final attainment test for the Advanced Physics I course at the University of Newcastle, Australia was investigated for performance bias based on gender. No overall gender bias was discovered, however there was a small to medium bias for the thermal physics topic. No other topics showed any significant difference by gender. A categorization schema for short answer exam questions was developed and revealed a correlation that if questions contain a majority of categories from the schema then no bias will be observed. Bias observed in the Thermal physics topic may be due to a combination of word density and low visual language.

Density functional theory together with ab initio atomistic thermodynamics has been utilized to study the structures and stabilities of the low index CuCl surfaces. It is shown that the Cl-terminated structures are more stable than the Cu-terminated configurations, and that the defective CuCl(110)-Cu structure is more stable than the stoichiometric CuCl(110) surface. The equilibrium shape of a cuprous chloride nanostructure terminated by low-index CuCl surfaces has also been predicted using a Wulff construction. It was found that the (110) facets dominate at low chlorine concentration. As the chlorine concentration is increased, however, the contributions of the (100) and (111) facets to the Wulff construction also increase giving the crystal a semi-prism shape. At high chlorine concentration, and close to the rich limit, the (111) facets were found to be the only contributors to the Wulff construction, resulting in prismatic nanocrystals.

Radiocarbon dating of Late Quaternary deposits has shown that erosion of old organic materials and their redeposition in younger sediments may give ages that are too old. Also, the humid climate and leaching pedogenic environment of much of Tasmania permits translocation of young humic acids down profile through porous sediments. These problems are illustrated by examples. -from Author
