Peter J Canfield

BSc (Hons) at the University of New South Wales 1993. Received several undergraduate academic awards in chemistry. Held positions in the Public Sector (Forensics) and Private Sector (including commercial R&D). In 2018, returned to Academia to commence a doctoral project at the University of Sydney. My 2022 PhD thesis "The Polytope Formalism: isomerism and associated unimolecular isomerisation", was awarded a Sydney University Thesis Prize. Since then, I have collaborated with chemist Prof Maxwell Crossley, and mathematicians Prof Stephan Tillmann and Prof Jonathan Spreer, on elaborating the Polytope Formalism - a single conceptual framework for accommodating and organising all chemical entities and phenomena.
