NSW Newsletter, April 2025

President’s Note:

April is always a busy time, with public and school holidays and what sometimes feels like work squashed in between.

In the NSW Branch Committee and Groups, we’ve been busy developing the budget for the Branch for 2025/2026. It’s always fun to think about what events and activities we can deliver to our community. If you would like to get involved more with planning and delivering our events in NSW, get in contact with the Branch at raci-nswcmt@raci.org.au and we can point you in the right direction! Make sure you tell us where your special interest lies so we can ensure you get the most out of your volunteering efforts.

One area that we really need help with is the NSW Branch Treasurer. We put a call out for this role late last year, so if you’ve forgotten to express your interest, the opportunity is not lost! Simply start the ball rolling by dropping me an email at raci-nswcmt@raci.org,au. You will need to be a full RACI member to be eligible for this role. But if you’re not yet a member, it’s easy to sign up. Please think about this opportunity. It’s a great way to hone any skills when it comes to finance and if you’ve not got any experience, that is not a barrier!

Coming up in May is our Fellows and Honorary Life Members lunch (2^nd May, L’Aqua, Cockle Bay Wharf). The Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Group is also holding an exciting webinar, A Practical Guide to Method Validation, on 13 May. My personal area of expertise is in this area of “chemical metrology” and it is definitely one to attend for all Chemists, even if you’re not an Analytical Chemistry afficionado!

We are also very excited that the Titration Competition is on again this year. Let any of your Teacher or Student contacts know that this exciting event has returned for 2025 and that they can enter and participate at a greater number of venues. Head to the RACI website for more details.

Our next Branch meeting will be a networking style of meeting on Tuesday 29 April. This year we are doing things a little differently, with one Branch Committee meeting being a networking meeting where the Committee and any NSW Branch member can meet and discuss all things RACI and Chemistry. We hope you can make it, commencing at 6:00 pm. Stay tuned for updates on the location, but be sure to put this into your diary!

Take care if you are travelling and have a good break over the holidays.

Chemist of the Month

Dr Sviat Eliseenko

Interview conducted by William Li.

WL: Good interview you again, Sviat! Firstly, how long have you been a RACI Member for?

SE: Great to chat again! That’s a good question, William. Funny enough, I wasn’t actually a RACI member during my PhD at Macquarie University – I was so deep into my research in chiral catalysis chemistry that I didn’t really think about it at the time. But once I finished and started looking for more ways to connect with other chemists, peers, experienced professionals, and higher managers I decided to join. That was late 2021, so it’s been about three and a half years now.

WL: You would be a RACI Member long enough to attend many events, having seen you often in the events I’ve been to the past few years, including the NSW Branch President’s Dinner and NSW Analytical and Environmental Group symposiums, promoting Waters’ instrumentation.

SE: That’s true! I really enjoy talking to people – it’s just part of who I am. I love learning about what others are working on, how they approach challenges, and seeing if there’s a way I can contribute. RACI events are a great platform for that. They’re interactive, full of interesting conversations, and I always walk away having learned something new.

WL: Glad you did, making use of the time in those events to get people excited about the latest developments in analytical instrumentation.

SE: Absolutely! For me, it’s not just about meeting people and talking about chemistry – it’s about the bigger picture. I see my role as helping to drive positive change, even if it’s indirectly. Whether I’m working with companies, academic groups, or individual chemists, my goal is to help them set up analytical facilities that make their work easier, more reliable, and more efficient. But what’s truly rewarding is seeing how they use these solutions to make the world a better and safer place—whether it’s improving healthcare, environmental monitoring, or product safety. Knowing I’ve played a part in that progress is what keeps me motivated.

WL: Absolutely – in a position to help those companies and researchers in using the technology you provided them to help achieve the goals of the project they’re working on. Like separating mixtures whose components have very similar properties with very high resolution and analysing each peak. It would be a very fulfilling role to be in to go out there and problem solve to make their analyses easier.

SE: Absolutely right, William! One of the best things about this role is the opportunity to be involved in such a broad range of projects. When I was working in a lab, I loved solving scientific problems, but the scope was much narrower. Now, one day I might be working on a clinical project, the next on environmental monitoring, and the day after that, something completely different like polymers studies. Seeing chemistry from so many angles not only keeps things exciting but also helps me understand where the field is heading and where knowledge gaps exist. And the best part of it is I get to help brilliant scientists – both in academia and industry – fill those gaps. It’s an amazing feeling to be in a position where I can contribute to that kind of progress and, to some extent, shape the industry.

WL: Something different to do all the time, going from one industry to another working on different problems.

SE: Exactly! Sometimes, it even happens within the same day.

WL: That has to be what you like most about your role, right?

SE: That’s definitely one of the key pillars of my role! I’d say there are three main things I love about what I do. First, helping people – whether they’re chemists, clinicians, lab managers, or business professionals – giving them the right tools and solutions to succeed. Second, the interactions – I get to meet and collaborate with such a diverse range of people, which keeps every day interesting. And third, the bigger picture I mentioned before: being in a position to contribute to shaping the future of science, innovation, and society as a result. That’s what makes this role so fulfilling for me.

WL: Really fulfilling to be that person who could provide a solution to a long-standing problem. 

SE: True, however, It’s less about being the 'smart guy' and more about truly listening and understanding what people need. The real value comes from connecting the dots – figuring out the right solution for their specific challenge and helping to move forward with it. That’s what makes it so rewarding.

WL: Completely fair. Now, if there’s one piece of advice to give to someone who wants to be like you, what would it be?

SE: Great question! I’d say there are three key pieces of advice. First, always stay curious. Never lose that scientific curiosity. For me, it started early on – I was always asking 'why?' as a kid, challenging things, and seeking logical explanations. I probably gave my mother a hard time with all those crazy questions! It’s about challenging the status quo, thinking about why things happen, what the root cause is, and what’s behind it. And I try to keep this habit being an adult. Second, and this is super important – love people and enjoy learning more about their interests and goals. And third, be passionate about what you do. It’s not just about liking something – it’s about being truly passionate. When you’re passionate, it becomes contagious. People want to engage, share knowledge, and collaborate to create something meaningful together.

WL: Very important advice for aspiring chemists in thinking why things happen and able to challenge the status quo – what makes it happen and what do we get out of it. Also, having conversations every now and then gets you to understand each other more and work out what the needs are, and the more you interact, the more friend-like it becomes. That also motivates you to become a scientist, right?

SE: Yes, absolutely! When you love people, it naturally drives you to want to help them and figure out how to do things better – what value you can bring to the table.

WL: Having grown up in Russia, what got you to eventually be in Australia?

SE: It all came down to scientific curiosity. You're right – I was born when the Soviet Union was still around. I lived in Russia until 25, pursuing my scientific projects at a university in Saint Petersburg. Throughout my scientific journey, I was looking at developments in Western science, curious about how their scientific approaches might differ. While Russia is mostly culturally Western, the approaches are somewhat different, and I wanted to experience that firsthand. That’s what led me to move to Australia – to explore Western science, see how it works, and develop new skills. It happened in 2015, almost 10 years ago, and receiving a scholarship from Macquarie University was a huge part of making it all possible. I’m very grateful to my supervisor, Dr Fei Liu, and to Macquarie University for giving me this opportunity to learn and collaborate in a new scientific environment.

WL: Very interesting journey you got there, taking up a scholarship to an Australian university to nurture the science interest. Could you share more about you expertise in chemistry, what is your PhD is about?

SE: I have a deep knowledge of chiral catalysis chemistry and organic synthesis, which was the focus of my PhD. Interestingly, the key researchers I cited in my thesis were the winners of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. My research focused on developing a small-molecule versatile system that could function as both chiral organocatalysts and chiral ligands simultaneously in multi-step, one-pot processes. It helped to form complex molecules with several chiral centers in a highly enantioselective manner, starting from very simple achiral precursors. The value of this fundamental research is the fact that one molecule can efficiently facilitate different mechanisms of chiral catalysis in one process. Now we understand how to make these facilitators and how to improve them to reach higher efficiencies.

WL: Lastly, and most importantly, what do like to do in your spare time?

SE: Ah, the most important question! Well, spare time is a bit rare with work and routine, but I try to spend most of it with my family. I’m also a big fan of reading—it’s a great way to unwind. Another passion of mine is visiting theatres and museums. It’s important to have a balance, even if you truly enjoy your job.
