Duncan Wild completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours at the University of Melbourne and pursued a PhD focusing on infrared spectroscopy of size-selected anion complexes. In 2003, he received the Alexander Von Humboldt Fellowship to continue his research at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany. His research primarily investigates timescales of energy relaxation in carotenoids and the spectroscopy of neutral stilbene-alkane gas phase complexes. Wild joined the University of Western Australia in 2007, where he has been an Academic Conduct Advisor and has led projects centered on ion complex and cluster photoelectron spectroscopy. His current research aims to characterize ionic clusters to enhance understanding of intermolecular interactions and chemical reaction transition states. Utilizing instruments like the Time Flight mass spectrometer coupled with a PhotoElectron Spectrometer (TOF-PES), he explores the formation of halide anions with various neutral molecules in the gas phase, striving for high-resolution spectral data through innovative experimental setups and computational methods. He is actively involved in teaching various chemistry courses and is known for his work in laser spectroscopy and computational chemistry.
