Speaker's Bio:
Chris was born and raised in New Zealand, obtaining a BSc (Hons) from Victoria University of Wellington. He conducted his PhD at the Australian National University under the supervision of Professor Michael Sherburn, focusing on the application of cross-conjugated hydrocarbons in total synthesis. Following graduation, Chris conducted postdoctoral studies in the group of Professor Nicolai Cramer (EPFL, Switzerland), working in the areas of enantioselective CH functionalization and biomimetic natural product synthesis. Chris returned to Australia as a DECRA Fellow at the University of Adelaide, before moving to the University of Georgia (USA) in early 2021 to start as an Assistant Professor.
