Resolving the taxonomic status of bandicoots and gliders for conservation management
Honours project: Study the population genetic structure and phylogeography of either bandicoots or marsupial gliders.
Catalytic activity of metal clusters on surfaces
Honours project: Develop techniques to determine the geometric and electronic structure of size-specific clusters (e.g. Au9) deposited onto semiconductors surfaces (e.g. TiO2) and test their performance for photocatalytic water-spitting (H2 production) and CO2 reduction (hydrocarbon formation).
