معرفی
David Turner is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry at Monash University, specializing in supramolecular and coordination chemistry. His research focuses on chiral coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks, and hydrogen-bonding networks for applications in enantiomeric separations and gas capture. He holds a PhD from King's College London (2004) and has been recognized with prestigious awards including the ARC Future Fellowship (2013) and Victorian Young Tall Poppy Science Award (2011).
He leads the Turner Group, offering PhD projects in chiral supramolecular cages, coordination polymers, and crystal engineering. His community service includes outreach with the Australian Synchrotron and roles as Secretary of SCANZ and former President of the Victorian RACI branch.
Recent research highlights include developing amine-based MOFs for precious metal remediation and sustainable phase change materials. Key collaborations involve neutron diffraction studies and advanced radiochemical technologies. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean energy and responsible consumption.
