Hey RACI members! I'm Franca, your go-to person for all things careers and mentoring here at RACI. I'm thrilled to be working on an exciting new careers and mentoring program set to launch in 2025-stay tuned for more details!

When I'm not at work, you can find me doting on my two adorable bulldogs - a lovely 2-year-old American Bulldog and a wise 12-year-old Aussie Bulldog. 🐶🐾 I'm also a proud basketball mum, cheering on my kids from the sidelines, and I love spending quality time with my family and friends.

Looking forward to connecting with you all and making 2025 our best year yet!

Hey Everyone!

I'm Sian, and I work alongside Robyn and Faith in the Events and Awards Team.

This July marks my one-year anniversary with RACI, and I love the variety of tasks my role offers.

Working with the National Office team is fantastic, and getting to know so many of our members and volunteers has been amazing.

I was born and mostly raised in Adelaide, though I spent 3 years in Perth as a child. I've been married for 10 years, and I have a 3-year-old son and a Westie.

I enjoy AM radio, cream in my coffee, and TV shows like Taskmaster and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. English humor is my favorite.

On that note, I am a first-generation Australian with a Scottish and English background.

Thanks for a great (almost) first year here.

Cheers to RACI and everyone who is involved!

SKP :)

Hi everyone,

I graduated UNSW about 1970 with Chem Hons and worked in several organisations while going through P/T.  I joined NSW DPI as an analyst and after a few years,  left the lab and took an interest in environmental chemistry that has stayed with me ever since: I'm currently working on P and Cd behaviour in soils.

Paul.

What are you passionate about within the field of chemistry?

I have always been fascinated by drug design and ligand-target interactions. I am especially intrigued with therapeutic molecules containing functional groups which previously were avoided due to potential toxicity issues 

Do you have any favourite projects or research topics you're currently working on?

Not at the moment

Any fun facts or hobbies you'd like to share with the community?

Last year I decided to teach myself to play the piano - I now can play a few pop songs but will probably look at getting some lessons in the future   :)

Hi all,

I have joined RACI for a couple of years but haven't really got the chance to interact with the community. Here is a start :)

1. Which branch are you from?

A: I base in Sydney, NSW.

2. What are you passionate about within the field of chemistry?

A: I enjoy organic chemistry and polymer science. Lately, I am focusing on formulation chemistry and translating research projects into industry opportunities. My ultimate goal is to use the most sustainable practices and simplest processes in developing a well-performing product.

3. Do you have any favourite projects or research topics you're currently working on?

A: I am currently helping a start-up to develop and launch products for flame retardant applications. Some of these are already on the shelves. What I learnt from the process is that product development is not just fun and games. There are multiple aspects to be considered and required various support. This would be challenging for most start-up who may not have the experience and resources to cover everything. I would really like to help bridging this knowledge gap with my network.

4. Any fun facts or hobbies you'd like to share with the community?

A: It's not science related, but I am learning skateboarding in my 30's :P

I am setting my goal to be a more active member this year so hope to meet you in person one day.

Hello everyone, 

My Name is Hiren Karmata, and am pleased to introduce myself per below request. I hold a Master's degree (by research) from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. During my research, my academic work was on Supercritical Fluid Extraction using carbon dioxide, with a special focus on its application within the nutraceutical sector.

In my professional journey, I have gained extensive laboratory experience, notable in the Modified Claus Process at the Saudi Aramco Laboratory and client named Sulfur Recovery Engineering, Canada. I have also participated into various field testing programs at Saudi Aramco sites. I have also conducted comprehensive mercury mapping at one of the Santo's site in 2022.

Currently I am affiliated with the Adelaide branch as a member. My key interest areas in the field of chemistry are spectrophotometry, chromatography, and batch distillation. Inspired by Dan's post : ), I would also like to actively practice martial art as my hobby and stay physically fit. I was an active member of the Udhailiyah Taekwondo Club in Saudi Arabia and holds Bronze medal in one of the interclub competition. I love practicing yoga and meditation for mental fitness too. 

I am eager to connect with fellow research-minded individuals, as I firmly believe in the value of lifelong learning.

Thank you for reading this post.

Best Regards,
Hiren

Hello Hiren, 

Thanks for a comprehensive introduction. As a fellow chemist, I'm impressed by your diverse experience, spanning from academic research at IIT Bombay to industrial applications at Saudi Aramco. I spent more than a decade in Saudi Arabia before moving to Brunei and we were living close to the main unit of Saudi Aramco. 

It's refreshing to know that you value both professional growth and personal well-being. Your dedication to martial arts, yoga, and meditation speaks to a well-rounded approach to life and career.

Looking forward to engaging in meaningful scientific discussions.

Take care,
