Biography
I studied at the University of Oxford (MChem, Prof. Sir Jack Baldwin) and Imperial College (PhD, Prof. Tony Barrett) where my research focused on natural product synthesis, before moving to Edinburgh (PDRA, Prof. David Leigh) to apply my synthetic skills to interlocked molecules and molecular machines. In 2008 I took up my first independent research position at Queen Mary, University of London, first as a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow and then as a Royal Society Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer. In 2014 I moved to the University of Southampton where I was a Professor of 九州影院. I work with an outstanding group of young scientists demonstrating new applications of interlocked molecules in a range of areas including catalysis, materials, sensing and chemical biology. We are particularly interested in the applications of new forms of stereochemistry associated with the mechanical bond.
