About Christopher

Associate Professor Christopher Richardson serves in the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health at the University of Wollongong, holding the position of Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Bioscience. He obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, spanning 2000 to 2004. His research specializes in synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry, focusing on the design, synthesis, and post-synthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), rhodium- and palladium-catalyzed reactions, coordination compounds, and functional materials development. Richardson's group employs techniques such as reactive extrusion printing for simultaneous crystallization and activation of MOFs, and investigates novel reactivity like tetradehydro-Diels-Alder reactions via rhodium-stabilized cyclic allenes. He is affiliated with the Molecular Horizons research institute, serving as the representative for Medicinal Chemistry and Synthesis.
