He has previously worked with the National Institute of Biomolecular Sciences in conjunction with the Victor Chang Heart Research Institute designing molecules to mitigate heart pump function for reducing blood pressure. Prior to that he gained his PhD in supramolecular architecture from the University of Sydney designing molecular cage compounds that could potentially act as molecular switches and logic gates in molecular computer components in roughly 200 years’ time. But he didn’t really want to wait 200 years, so now he teaches others so the process can be accelerated.
