Meredith Jordan

Associate Professor Meredith Jordan is a faculty member at the University of Sydney's Department of Chemistry, specializing in theoretical and computational chemistry. She holds an BSc (Hons) and PhD from the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on quantum and classical dynamics in chemical systems, potential energy surfaces, and photodetachment spectra, aligning with the university's Faculty of Science Research Strengths in Quantum Frontiers. She has coordinated Honours and Graduate Diploma programs.

• Education:
• BSc (Hons), University of Sydney (1990)
• PhD, University of Sydney (1994)
• Research Interests:
• Quantum mechanical models for bound/unbound systems
• Hydrogen bonds in biological systems
• Photodetachment spectra interpretation
• New theoretical methods for scattering calculations
• Recent Work Trends: Contributions to atmospheric photochemistry, roaming reaction mechanisms, and quantum effects in molecular systems.

Her grants include projects on atmospheric photothermal oxidation, ground-state photochemistry, and hydrogen storage materials. She collaborates extensively with experimentalists like Prof. Scott Kable, focusing on acetaldehyde photolysis and tropospheric chemistry.
