Welcome to the Annual RACI R&D Topics Conference in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry.
On behalf of the 2023 Organising Committee, we are delighted to invite you to participate in the 29th RACI R&D Topics, to be held December 3rd-6th in Sydney at The University of New South Wales (UNSW). Several public transport options are available to get directly to UNSW’s campus: The L2 or L3 light rail from the central station light rail stop (the L2 service’s stop is closer to conference venue), alternatively the 396 Bus stops at Circular Quay, Martin Place or Museum.
R&D Topics Conference offers high quality presentations from Australia’s young and upcoming scientists on a diverse range of topics from the fields of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry.
An exciting social program will accompany the more serious side of the meeting to afford the opportunity to network with fellow students and colleagues, including a welcome mixer, social evenings and conference dinner.
Chemistry is a broad discipline, and we urge students across chemistry to submit their abstracts.
Topics in the past have included:
• Fundamental Advances in Analytical Instrumentation
• Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
• Microfluidics
• Forensic Science
• Pharmaceutical
• Environmental Monitoring
• Water Quality
• RNA Science
The conference program will be complemented by a trade display area showcasing the latest products and services within analytical and environmental chemistry and related industries.
This years conference is free! No registration costs are required :)
The Organising Committee look forward to welcoming you to the 29th RACI R&D Topics Conference hosted at The University of New South Wales in December.

Invited Speakers
Dr. Michaela Froehlich
Michaela Froehlich has a PhD in chemistry and significant experience in radiochemistry. She worked ever since in a multidisciplinary field and specialised on chemical isolation of rare isotopes from environmental matrices measured by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) focusing on actinides in the environment and their applications. Michaela is also part of the Metrology Team in collaboration with ANSTO to develop the chemical separation techniques for the characterisation of high-purity detector material and low background measurements, e.g., lead in NaI. She is the elected secretary of the South Pacific Environmental Radioactivity Association.
Dr. Morphy Dumlao
Dr. Morphy Dumlao holds a PhD in Chemistry from UNSW and serves as a Lecturer at UNSW Canberra. His expertise lies in the fields of energetic materials, forensic investigation of explosives, and ambient mass spectrometry. With a broad research background gained at the National University of Singapore and ETH Zurich, he brings practical experience as a forensic/analytical chemist, which includes contributions to United Nations Missions in Sudan and Timor-Leste
