Jonathon Beves studied at The University of Sydney, obtaining Honours (2002) and Master’s (2004) degrees under Len Lindoy’s supervision. He moved to Basel (Switzerland) for his Ph.D. under the joint supervision of Ed Constable and Catherine Housecroft, followed by two years in Dave Leigh’s lab in Edinburgh (UK) as a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellow. He was appointed to a faculty position at Nanjing University (China) in 2012, and maintains connections with several universities in China. In early 2013, he was appointed at the University of New South Wales.



Jack Clegg completed his Bachelor of Liberal Studies (Honours) and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Sydney with Len Lindoy, where he also studied history, German, and law. He then spent two years at the University of Cambridge on a Marie Curie Fellowship before joining the University of Queensland in 2012 where he is an associate professor and ARC Future Fellow. Jack won the 2015 Queensland Young Tall Poppy Science Award and was the 2016 University of Sydney Faculty of Science Young Alumnus of the Year.



Richard Keene gained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Adelaide and, after two postdoctoral appointments, was appointed in 1978 to James Cook University in Townsville … and for 18 years (1978-1996) he and Len Lindoy were the ‘inorganic staff’ of the Chemistry Department. Richard retired as Distinguished Professor in 2012 and now holds an Honorary/Emeritus position at the University of Adelaide. He was a recipient of the Rennie Medal of the RACI, and a Fulbright Fellowship. Richard has published in a number of areas of coordination chemistry – including electron transfer, chirality in supramolecular chemistry, and the development of metal complexes as anticancer, antibacterial, and antiparasitic agents.



Yang Kim completed his Ph.D. degree in inorganic chemistry in 1989 at Yeoungnam University (South Korea) and joined Kosin University (South Korea) as a professor. He is currently an Honorary/Emeritus professor at Kosin University and a guest professor at Kumamoto University (Japan). He was involved in collaborative research nationally, and internationally with Professors Leonard F. Lindoy (University of Sydney), Jack M. Harrowfield (Université de Strasbourg), Peter Comba (Universität Heidelberg), Shinya Hayami (Kumamoto University), Keisuke Ohto (Saga University), and Pierre Thuéry (CEA, IRAMIS, CNRS). The principal themes of his current research activities involve supramolecular chemistry of organic and inorganic compounds; encapsulating ligands for the isolation, purification, analysis, and use of metal ions; and spin crossover materials.
