Biography
Associate Professor Kamali Kannangara is an Organic Chemist and at present, is the Associate Dean (Global Engagment) in the School of Science.
She has over 60 refereed publications on synthesis of organic/metallorganic compounds and nanomaterials, including multi-step synthesis of cannabinoid metabolites and analogues and the use of spectroscopic techniques for the elucidation of molecular structure. These synthetic skills have been successfully applied to other fields such as nanotechnology, geochemistry, environmental and forensic sciences. She has worked on controlled synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), functionalisation of CNTs using microwave irradiation conditions, mainly to improve the dispersion of CNTs to form nanocomposites with improved material and mechanical properties. She has co-authored a book on "Nanotechnology" - UNSW and CRC Press, published in 2002. Together with Dr Adriyan Milev, she has been successful in receiving Australia-India Strategic Research funds (2013-16) to develop new cathode materials for Lithium ion battery. After joining UWS in 2003, she has played a key role in organising and acquiring the state-of-art research facilities on materials characterisation and setting the research on an upward trajectory; publishing regularly in internationally recognized journals, deriving part of their research funding from the very competitive funding schemes. She has supervised and co-supervised a number of higher degree students. At present, she is a team member of the Australian Medicinal Cannabis Research and Education Collaboration (AMCREC) at the Western Sydney University and is keen to explore research in to synthesis of medicinal cannabinoids and analogues.
