PhD Student at the Australian National University, specializing in Computational Chemistry, Materials Design, Materials Informatics, and Science Education

I studied chemistry with him during my undergraduate degree, and his teaching significantly improved my understanding of physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and materials chemistry. He explained difficult topics through simple scientific reasoning, practical examples, and clear visual illustrations. He was patient, approachable, and always encouraged questions. His lessons helped me move beyond memorising equations and develop a genuine understanding of the underlying chemical principles.

He provided excellent guidance in experimental materials chemistry, particularly in sample preparation, instrument operation, and scientific data analysis. I learned how to interpret X-ray diffraction, UV–visible spectroscopy, microscopy, and other material-characterisation results rather than simply reporting them. He consistently connected experimental observations with crystal structure, composition, and material properties. His practical and research-focused teaching was extremely valuable for developing my laboratory and analytical skills.

I was a student of his during my undergraduate studies in Material Science. He is a very helpful and insightful tutor for computational chemistry. He made the concepts and simulation tasks very easy to understand and provided very comprehensive examples. I learned about electronic structures, atomistic model building, and the core concepts of applying them in material science.
