Studied CHemistry Affiliated UWA Appointed 2018

I am honoured to be awarded as a Forrest Fellowship Fellow as a part of the outstanding community of global research at the UWA. By developing new iron-based catalysts I can help to increase the sustainability of chemical transformations and help to avoid toxic heavy metals. I am curiously looking forward to participate in world-changing research and to join the community of highly-skilled Forrest researchers.

Marcus’ research aims to develop iron catalysts for a range of chemical transformations, with a focus on demonstrating chemical bond forming reactions important in the fine-chemicals sector.

By decreasing reliance on noble metal catalysts we can develop lower cost, less toxic chemical processes. This will allow preservation of the valuable noble metal resources for those processes which are necessary for future generations.

Marcus received a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), which will allow him to continue his research at UWA.
