Prof. Martin Wills
Professor of Organic Chemistry
I work on synthesis and catalysis. In particular, there is a focus on asymmetric catalysis with organometallic complexes and the development of novel synthetic methodology. Please go to my research group website for full details.

I am currently interested in:
- Synthetic chemistry and asymmetric catalysis
- Enantioselective ketone reduction using transfer hydrogenation and asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using homochiral transition metal catalysts
- Total and partial synthesis of natural products
- Development of supported reagents for synthesis.
- My Research Group uses a wide range of structural and analytical techniques such as infra-red, NMR, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction etc..
My teaching is delivered through Moodle. I teach to all years.
