Dr. Graham Chandler

Biography

Graham Chandler is an Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia with a strong focus on theoretical chemistry, which encompasses approaches to solve chemical problems through sophisticated theoretical methods. His expertise involves calculating molecular shapes, vibrational spectra, and reaction mechanisms employing a combination of theoretical predictions and experimental techniques. With over twenty years of refining theoretical methods, he has made significant contributions to understanding small inorganic molecules and the bonding in transition metal complexes. His current research interests include the investigation of structures and stabilities of small molecules composed of early periodic table elements, transition states in sulfoxide chemistry, and general theories predicting molecular shapes. Dr. Chandler collaborates with other researchers to explore the stability of metal-containing molecules and the properties of spin charge density distributions in transition metal complexes. His work leverages advanced computational techniques to yield valuable insights into chemical phenomena that are often difficult to observe experimentally, highlighting the essential interplay between theory and practice in the field of chemistry.
