Regular biography
Dr Scott Sulway is a Senior Lecturer – EF in the School of Chemistry at The University of New South Wales. He holds a Master of Chemistry with Honours and a Doctor of Philosophy from The University of Manchester, as well as a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from Manchester Metropolitan University. Dr. Sulway moved to Australia in 2014 and has since focused on education while maintaining research interests in single molecule magnets and their operating temperature. His research explores ways to enhance the performance of these materials. Dr. Sulway is also involved in chemical education, particularly in the use of digital technology to improve learning.
Scholar-generated biography
Scott Sulway is a researcher specializing in organometallic chemistry, with a focus on lanthanides, single-ion magnets (SIMs), single-molecule magnets (SMMs), and coordination chemistry. His work explores the influence of ligands on magnetic properties, such as the role of N-bridging ligands in magnetic relaxation and the impact of ligand symmetry on single-ion magnet behavior. Sulway investigates the synthesis and structural characterization of complexes, including iron (II) cage complexes, zinc-doped iron oxide tracers, and lanthanide-based materials for magnetic particle imaging (MPI). His research also addresses the electronic structure and magnetic properties of lanthanide complexes, such as dysprosium and cerium, with an emphasis on enhancing energy barriers for high-coordinate SMMs.
