Kamali Kannangara Ph.D.
Dr. Kamali Kannangara, Senior Lecturer at University of Western Sydney (Australia) is an outstanding young experimental scientist whose research interests include synthesis of organic and metallorganic compounds and use of spectroscopic techniques for the molecular structure elucidation. Dr. Kannangara has carried out collaborative research projects with industries involving characterization of complex organic mixtures using LC-MS and NMR spectroscopic techniques, and is an expert in setting up, data collection and interpretation of modern NMR experiments and applying to various other fields. She has a broad knowledge in laboratory synthesis and has been able to develop novel synthetic procedures that have addressed the ways of achieving regio- and stereo-selectivity in organic molecules in her PhD research at University of Hawaii, USA.She has co-authored a book on "Nanotechnology", CRC Press, USA and UNSW Press, Australia that was published 2002. At UWS, she has had several research grant successes; an ARC linkage grant 2004 titled "Development of a Cost-Effective Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposites for High Quality Gravure Printing", UWS-CSIRO 2-year post-doctoral fellowship, 3-year UWS Greater-Western Sydney Post-doctoral fellowship grant and other UWS internal funding. She has supervised and co-supervised a number of honors and post-graduate students, and currently supervises three PhD students. EducationPh.D. University of Hawaii 1994Career HighlightsAfter completing the PhD degree in 1994, she worked at University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) as Director of the NMR facility prior to joining UWS in September 2002. She has been actively involved in research and development of sol-gel techniques and her scientific insight and curiosity provided the impetus for the development of a highly practical methodology for new bone-graft materials with improved mechanical properties. |

UCLA Team Develops Graphene-Based SupercapacitorResearchers at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a supercapacitor or electrochemical capacitor (EC) composed of an expanded network of graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon. The team demonstrated excellent mechanical and electrical properties as well as exceptionally high surface area.
