Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Mckemmish is a Senior Lecturer and computational astrochemistry researcher at UNSW with 11 years of experience bridging quantum chemistry, molecular physics, and astrophysical spectroscopy. She develops theoretical methods for predicting rovibronic spectra and collision dynamics, work that underpins interpretations of molecular signatures in astronomical environments. An experienced educator and coordinator of a STEM outreach research program for Year 11–12 students, she blends high-level research with hands-on training for the next generation of scientists. Her background includes a PhD in theoretical chemistry and postdoctoral work on ultracold atom–diatom collisions and transition-metal oxide spectroscopy at UCL. Based in Sydney, she is noted for translating complex quantum-chemical calculations into practical tools for astrophysical applications—a niche that sits between theory and observational needs.
