The Department of Chemistry recently celebrated the achievements of the 2025 Honours class through a series of presentations held in late November. Oral presentations took place on Thursday, followed by their Poster presentations on Friday, 28 November, marking the culmination of a challenging and rewarding year of research.


The oral and poster sessions provided students with the opportunity to present their research findings and demonstrate their scientific communication skills to staff and peers. The high standard of work reflected the dedication and talent of the Honours cohort.


Two students were recognised for their outstanding performances. Kamryn Naidoo was awarded Best Oral Presentation as well as Overall Honours Project. He was also recognised as one of the top-performing Honours students in Chemistry, receiving the Percy Gordon Memorial Award and earning a nomination for the prestigious SACI James Moir Medal. Danielle Sabor received the award for Best Poster Presentation.


The Department congratulates all Honours students on their excellent presentations and successful completion of the programme. Their achievements highlight the continued strength of the Department’s commitment to academic excellence, research training, and mentorship.
