Alexandra Mort is a physical chemist from Sydney, currently working as a casual academic. She holds a double Bachelor’s degree in Science and Mathematical Sciences, majoring in Chemistry and Astrophysics from the Australian National University. From the University of Sydney, she was awarded a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours and received numerous academic accolades, including the prestigious Janet Elspeth Crawford Prize in Chemistry for her research into the chemical design of aperiodic monotile tilings using DNA origami. Alexandra’s Honours research exhibits her passion for applying mathematical concepts to chemical systems for novel material design as a solution to climate-based issues. With her Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Alexandra will continue exploring this interest, by investigating molecular transport and the design of ion-exchange membranes through a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry at Oxford. In the future, Alexandra hopes to pursue an academic career whilst working closely with Australian industry to develop material solutions to the pressing energy needs of Australia’s unique environmental landscape.
