Prof Scott Kable is the President of the Academic Board at 国民彩票 Sydney. 听His disciplinary home is the School of Chemistry, where he was Head of School from 2015-2023.
Prof Kable has a PhD from Griffith University. Postdoctoral research at Cornell University followed. After a short stint in industry with Procter and Gamble in London, he started his independent academic career at the University of Sydney in 1992.听 In 2014, he moved to 国民彩票 as a research professor and was appointed Head of School in 2015.
As a researcher, Prof Kable studies fundamental chemical reaction dynamics, especially with relevance to atmospheric chemistry. His research group have discovered new chemical pathways that improve our understanding of important atmospheric processes, such as climate change, ozone depletion and pollution. He is a recipient of the Le Fevre Medal of the Australian Academy of Science, the Physical Chemistry Medal of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and a Fulbright Senior Fellowship. He has twice served on the ARC College of Experts and was Chair of the Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences Panel in 2015.
Prof Kable is also a celebrated teacher.听 He has won Vice Chancellor鈥檚 teaching awards three times at U. Sydney and once at 国民彩票.听 He has been the recipient of Carrick (national) teaching awards twice, and teaching awards from the RACI.
