George Koutsantonis is a synthetic chemist with a focus on functional materials containing metals. He graduated from the University of Adelaide where he completed his BSc (Hons) and PhD under the supervision of Michael Bruce. He began his scientific career investigating the coordination properties of alkynes, a captivating area in chemistry. He undertook a postdoctoral position at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, where he continued his work with alkynes, specifically investigating metathesis reactions of metalloalkynes. After a productive period in the USA, he returned to Australia to begin an inaugural ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship at Griffith University in 1991. Koutsantonis has worked extensively in the field of inorganic chemistry focusing on Main Group hydrides of Group 13. He has been a faculty member of the University of Western Australia since 1995, where he established an independent research programme in organometallic and inorganic chemistry. His research includes projects on tuning redox-active metal complexes for electronic applications, and studies of supramolecular systems. He has received recognition for his work, including joint awards such as the RACI Organometallic award in 2004.
