Biography

Neil is a physical chemist specializing in interface physics, chemistry, and engineering. He completed his PhD thesis at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the applications of novel nuclear magnetic resonance techniques in surface science and heterogeneous catalysis. Currently, he is extending these methods to study gas-liquid dynamics in porous materials, which are critically important for the energy-environment nexus. He holds a three-year Forrest Research Foundation Fellowship and works as an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Western Australia, contributing to research funded by the Australian Research Council and the Australian Energy Agency. In addition, he is an Associate Investigator at the Australian Centre of Excellence in Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide and lectures at Queen's University Belfast. His research includes the design and characterization of novel spin conversion materials for hydrogen liquefaction.
