Projects per year
Personal profile
Research interests
Computational studies of organometallic reaction systems using predominately Density Functional Theory (DFT). These include:
- C-H Activation
- Nucleophilic Boryls
- Cross-Coupling
- Latent Steric Parameters
Teaching interests
I currently lecture on the Y2 courses "Introduction to Computational Chemistry" and "Group Theory".
I am also involved in the computational labs in both semesters for Y1 students, and the year long Y2 labs.
Finally, I organise and schedule the Chemistry Key Skills sessions we run throughout the academic year for Y1, Y2 and final year Chemistry students.
