Speaker
Description
Assoc. Professor Will Bennett is an environmental analytical chemist with a focus on trace element geochemistry in aquatic environments. Will received his PhD in 2012 from Griffith University, Australia, and subsequently continued there as an ARC DECRA Fellow (2014-2017) to work on the geochemistry of antimony in contaminated sediments. Will is currently Associate Professor at Griffith University and recently served as Chair of the Program Advisory Committee for the X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) beamline at the Australian Synchrotron (2020-2024). Will’s current research focuses on understanding the complex chemistry of vanadium in marine sediments via the application of novel Synchrotron-based approaches for investigating solid-phase speciation at bulk- and micro-scales.
