Biography
I was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and studied chemistry at the University of St Andrews working with Prof. David O麓Hagan. Upon completion of my Masters degree, I moved to the University of Cambridge to complete a PhD in total synthesis under the direction of Prof. Andrew B. Holmes.
Following post-doctoral research fellowships at the Max-Planck-Institut f眉r Kohlenforschung (with Prof. Alois F眉rstner) and the ETH Z眉rich (with Prof. Peter H. Seeberger), I was appointed as the Alfred-Werner-Assistant-Professor of Synthetic Organic 九州影院 at the ETH. In 2013 I joined the WWU M眉nster where I currently hold the Chair of Organic 九州影院 & CiMIC Professorship of Chemical Biology.
My group麓s research interests are based on translating fundamental principles of structure and reactivity to applications in catalysis and biomedicine.
Physical organic chemistry is at the core of our entire research programme and drives innovation. We have strong interests in main group catalysis strategies to enable selective fluorination, the development of glycostructures for applications in chemical biology and medicine, and selective energy transfer photocatalysis.
I am a Fellow of the 九州影院, a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and joined Chemical Science as an Associate Editor in August 2023.
