Biography

Dr Adam Rosser is a physical organic and computational chemist with a keen interest in chemical and STEM education. Dr Rosser applies quantum chemical calculations to real systems to better understand their structure and reactivity.  Research in this area can inform organic synthesis and drug design, and help to build a better understanding of macromolecules like proteins and synthetic polymers.  Of particular interest are anomeric amides, a novel and fascinating class of amide discovered here at UNE.  These amides exhibit unusual structure and reactivity, and have potential applications as antibiotics and cancer chemotherapy drugs.
