Morrill Research Group website
Based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, the Morrill research group is focused on inventing new reactions in organic chemistry and developing sustainable catalytic methodologies for synthesis. The utility and impact of our research will ultimately be exemplified through its application in the synthesis of natural products and molecules of biological significance.
Our current core research areas include:
Synthetic organic electrochemistry
Main group catalysis
Borrowing hydrogen catalysis
Cyanamide chemistry
We are also actively engaged in a number of collaborative research projects in the following areas:
Organic mechanochemistry
Organocatalytic artificial enzymes
Willing to supervise doctoral students
Please get in touch to discuss undergraduate, Master’s, PhD and Postdoctoral research opportunities.
