Mark Humphrey

Prof. Mark Humphrey is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The Australian National University. His research focuses on the preparation of new molecular materials, with an emphasis on understanding how chemical structure influences molecular properties through synthesis and physical property studies. His work encompasses organometallic, organic, coordination complex, and polymer synthesis, alongside spectroscopy, electrochemical techniques, and molecular modeling. He has held academic positions at various institutions, including the University of Adelaide, Universität Würzburg, and the University of Illinois, before joining ANU in 2009. Prof. Humphrey is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.

Mark G Humphrey is a Professor of Chemistry at the Australian National University, specializing in organometallic chemistry, transition metal complexes, cluster chemistry, nonlinear optical materials, and molecular switches. His research explores the synthesis and properties of organometallic complexes with applications in nonlinear optics, including second- and third-order optical nonlinearities, and their use in molecular switches and nanosensors. He has contributed to the development of materials with giant optical anisotropy and tunable nonlinear optical properties, with a focus on electrochemical and photochromic systems. His work bridges fundamental chemistry with advanced materials science for optical technologies.
