Nicholas See

Dr. Nicholas See obtained his PhD with the Dean’s Award in 2023 from the University of Queensland, Australia. Guided by Prof. Vito Ferro, his PhD research entailed the chemical synthesis and computational modelling of rare L-hexoses. He then completed a brief appointment at the Ferrier Research Institute, New Zealand, where he worked with Prof. Richard Furneaux on the photochemistry of carbohydrates. In 2024, Dr. See moved to Simon Fraser University, Canada to commence a postdoctoral research fellowship under Prof. David Vocadlo.

Dr. See has an ongoing research interest in exploiting physical organic chemistry to address complex challenges in carbohydrate synthesis. This strategy underpins his current research project which is focused on the development of new chemical tools for studying neurodegenerative disorders.
