Biography
Berwyck completed his PhD in 2009 at the University of Melbourne, studying vibrational predissociation of ion-molecule complexes under the guidance of Prof Evan Bieske. Following this he undertook postdoctoral research in the labs of Professor Stephen Blanksby at the University of Wollongong (2009) and Professor Robert Continetti at the university of California, San Diego (2010-2012). In 2012 Berwyck returned to the University of Wollongong as an ARC DECRA fellow, where his research interests turned to reactions of dianions and the radicals formed by their photodetachment. In 2016, Berwyck relocated to Queensland University of Technology and is currently focused on fundamental ion-molecule chemistry and developing new tools for lipid identification by mass spectrometry.Personal details
