• Doctoral Candidate - Pyrolysis of Low Rank Coal at High Pressures

  • Apr 1996 - Sep 1999

  PhD thesis on the pyrolysis behaviour of low rank coal for its use in coal fired turbine and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation systems. This project included implementation of experimental programs which involved pyrolysis and combustion of coal at 104 °C per sec and at a pressure of 15 bar, and subsequent analysis of the gas, solid and liquid residues via a range of methods to contribute to the maximisation of the efficiency of the future IGCC power generation systems.

Tasmanian Alkaloids

• Westbury, Tasmania

• Pilot Unit Small Scale - Chemical Technician

  • Sep 1993 - Mar 1996

  Production Chemist working on the development of laboratory scale chemical reaction processes (pharmaceuticals- alkaloid derivatives) and transferred them to the large scale for bulk manufacturing purposes. This work quality was maintained under the ISO 900 standards and the code of Good Manufacturing Practice for medicinal products which are world recognised systems that ensure the control and management of manufacturing and quality control of pharmaceutical products. These systems rely on documenting every aspect of the manufacturing process thereby enabling trace-ability of the product in the event of future problems, such as adulteration of the product.

  Development of new polymer precursors form sugars, an evaluation of synthetic routes to halogenated acids and alcohols. Conducted multi-step organic synthesis using sugar as the starting molecule for making molecules which had poly-chlorine functionality (derived from the poly-hydroxy sugar), which could then be polymerised via condensation chemistry. For use as fire retardants in polymers. Development of new polymer precursors form sugars, an evaluation of synthetic routes to halogenated acids and alcohols.
