Academic Background:

MA (BSc Bath); PhD (University of Southampton)

Research Interests:

I have wide ranging fundamental and applied research interests in modern organic chemistry, especially in asymmetric synthesis, new synthetic methods and the efficient total synthesis of biologically active and structurally intriguing natural products. My active research collaborations with many chemical companies also foster a current awareness of challenges, needs and developments in the industrial arena.
