Congratulations to MJ (Jervee Punzalan) who won the Most Engaging Speaker at the University of Otago Chemistry Department Bootcamp 2023 (April 14 2023)  

Keith was a keynote speaker at the 8th Asian Spectroscopy Conference (ASC2023) will be held in Tokamachi, Niigata, Japan from September 3 to 7, 2023 (http://www2.riken.jp/lab/spectroscopy/ASC2021/index.html).  Keith’s talk “Using metal complexes to open the door to long-lived excited states” dealt with the use of intra-ligand charge-transfer states as long-lived transients.

Keith was an invited speaker to SciX (https://scixconference.org/) where he gave a talk entitled “A retrospect of spectroscopic studies on dipyridophenazine – from Queens University Belfast to Los Lamos to the University of Otago New Zealand” at the 140 Years of the Coblentz Society and the Infrared and Raman Discussion Group (IRDG) symposium.  SciX (originally […]
