Professor Don McNaughton
Research Area
High resolution microwave and infrared spectroscopy applied to transient species, molecular structures and molecules of astrophysical and atmospheric interest; low resolution infrared and Raman spectroscopy applied to medical diagnostics and biological problems. Analysis for Green Chemistry. See our Biospectroscopy Centre and Green Chemistry sites for more detail.
Teaching Commitments
- Having been granted an Australian Professorial Fellowship for 2005-2009, I currently limit teaching to years 3 and 4 only on molecular symmetry, synchrotrons and spectroscopy.
Associated staff
Currently 4 Post doctoral fellows, 3 Graduate students, 1 Masters student and 1 honours student
