Biography

Kas obtained a Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Science (Hons – Chemistry and University Medal) from the University of Newcastle in 2018 and followed by undertaking a PhD there under the supervision of Prof. Alister Page, Prof. Erica Wanless and Prof. Grant Webber. During his PhD he investigated specific ion effects via computational and quantum chemistry. He then undertook a postdoctoral fellowship under the supervision of Prof. Vince Craigin Materials Physics at the Australian National University (ANU) to continue this project experimentally, by building a maximum bubble pressure surface tensiometer to use on nonaqueous electrolytes. Following this Kas moved across to the Division of Biomedical Sciences and Biochemistry in the Research School of Biology at ANU to work with Prof. Ben Corry. Primarily this project was investigating the thermodiffusion of salts with the purpose of optimising this potential new membrane free desalination method, as well as malarial protein transport mechanisms. Both via molecular dynamics simulations. Kas is now lecturing in Computational, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry here at the University of New England. He also has a podcast, Anion the Future, for exploring Academics Novel Ideas, Origins and Networks.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
