Biography
Dr Benjamin Long is an environmental and supramolecular chemist.
Dr Long’s key research foci are emerging organic environmental contaminants (e.g. pharmaceuticals and personal care products), plant bioactive compounds, especially those from Indigenous Australian traditional medicine (e.g. Federation University’s Bush Medicine Project) and the use and application of supramolecular interactions (e.g. analyte/contaminant detection and hydrogels).
The Long Lab has unique capacity for testing organic materials using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, as well as for measuring environmental monitoring parameters both on and off field sites. The Long Lab also has capability to synthesise and analyse peptide hydrogels for biomedical applications and supramolecular sensing and experience in small angle scattering (X-Ray and Neutron).
Benjamin attained his PhD from Deakin University in 2014, and after postdoctoral appointments at the University of Sydney and Deakin University, he joined Federation University Australia in 2017.
