DPhil in Organic Chemistry, Oxford University (supervisor Prof Steve Davies) 1988. Postdoc (supervisor Prof Wolfgang Oppolzer, Geneva University) 1988-1989. Lecturer, Bath University 1989-1995. Reader (1995-2000) and then Professor (since 2000), Warwick University. I have ca 180 published papers, 20 reviews and a book, details of which are on the publications section of this website. I have been fortunate to work with an outstanding group of colleagues, researchers and students during my time as an academic at Bath and Warwick, and to have attracted generous funding from a very wide range of chemical and pharmaceutical companies, research councils and other organisations. Brief personal bio: I was born in Swansea and grew up in Clydach, Cardiff and Reading. I've been an academic at Warwick University (chemistry) since 1995. I married Jenny (then Jenny Karle) in 1988, who worked at Reading University Library for three years after her BSc at the same Uni, before we moved to work in Geneva for a year. We now live in Warwickshire with our family nearby. |
