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.

Information on my research group can be found on my group website.
