Find Jennifer MacLeod on
PhD (Queen's University at Kingston), MSc (Queen's University at Kingston)
Jennifer MacLeod holds MSc and PhD degrees in Physics from Queen’s University (Canada), where she worked on instrumentation development for scanning tunneling microscopy studies of semiconductor surfaces. Jennifer has since held a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Università degli Studi di Trieste (Italy) and a Research Associate position at INRS (Canada), where she worked on a range of topics in nanoscience. After coming to QUT in 2015, she received an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) to support her work. Her current research interests include self-assembly and reactions of molecules at surfaces, and the growth and modification of graphene and other 2D materials. She draws on a range of experimental and computational techniques, with a focus on using scanning probe microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to elucidate these systems
