معرفی
Duncan Wild is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Molecular Sciences, The University of Western Australia. He earned his BSc (Hons) and PhD at the University of Melbourne, focusing on infrared spectroscopy of anion complexes. From 2003 to 2007, he held an Alexander Von Humboldt Fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany.
His research bridges experimental and theoretical studies in Physical Chemistry, specializing in Laser Spectroscopy, Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and Ab Initio Calculations. At UWA, he develops advanced spectrometers like the Time Of Flight (TOF-PES) and velocity map imaging systems to analyze gas-phase ionic clusters and their interactions. His work has significant implications for intermolecular forces, reaction dynamics, and atmospheric chemistry.
Teaching includes undergraduate courses in
- CHEM1001 Chemistry: Properties and Energetics
- CHEM2002 Analytical and Physical Chemistry
- CHEM3005 Chemical Spectroscopy and Structure
Collaborations with institutions such as Curtin University (via Professor Mark Buntine) and international networks in Physical Chemistry and Spectroscopy underpin his research. The Wild Research Group integrates experimental TOF-PES with high-level CCSD(T) and CBS extrapolation methods to model molecular clusters.
