Nicola Elizabeth Brasch is a New Zealand chemistry academic. She is currently a full professor at the Auckland University of Technology.[1]

Academic career[edit]

After a 1993 PhD titled '17O-Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of chromium(VI) oxyanions and some cobalt(III) tren complexes' at the University of Otago, she moved to Kent State University before returning to Auckland University of Technology, rising to full professor.[1][2]
