New Core Sciences Building on the horizon at MUN
The department of chemistry will be moving to a new home in ~5 years time! Exciting times are ahead for our research team.
…on your award (1st place!) at the 20th annual Chemistry Colloquium Contest! Sorry we didn’t post this sooner but we were waiting for a departmental press release first.
Khaled Omari, a recent graduate of the group (PhD, Dr. Kerton), will soon be moving to Nova Scotia to begin Postdoctoral Research at Cape Breton University in collaboration with B.W.BioEnergy Inc. Congratulations on your new position and we hope you enjoy life in Sydney and your new research endeavours are as successful as those during your PhD.
