Dr Nicole J Rijs is a research focused academic in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales Sydney who uses mass spectrometry and ion mobility to answer fundamental questions about chemical structure and reaction mechanisms.
After completing her PhD at the University of Melbourne, Dr Rijs was appointed as an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the TU Berlin, Germany. She commenced her independent career in 2015 founding her group at the KIT, Karlsruhe. In 2018, Dr Rijs relocated her research group from where it was based at the KIT in Germany, to UNSW Sydney, in order to take up a prestigious Scientia Fellowship. She was awarded an Australian Research Council DECRA fellowship and an Australian Academy of Science J. G. Russel Award.
