Research-led PhD supervision focused on synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic topics and advanced spectroscopic methods. Suited to students seeking one-on-one mentorship in laboratory research on phosphazenes, N‑heterocyclic carbenes and NMR-based studies.

What you'll study

Study is research-dominant and driven by faculty expertise. Topics reflected in the supervisor’s work include:

  • Synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry — design and preparation of metal complexes.
  • Bioinorganic chemistry — applying inorganic chemistry concepts to biologically relevant systems.
  • Phosphazene chemistry — synthesis and investigation of phosphazene compounds.
  • Imidazole and N‑heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry — development and application of imidazolium salts and metal‑NHC complexes.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy — use of NMR as a primary analytical tool in structure and mechanism studies.

Entry requirements

The programme’s public information highlights the supervisor’s academic background (Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry; B.A. in biochemistry) but does not list formal entry criteria on the provided page. Prospective applicants should consult the department for specific admission prerequisites and documentation.

Career prospects

Research training under this supervision prepares graduates for laboratory‑based roles in academic research, industrial R&D in inorganic/organometallic chemistry, and positions requiring expertise in NMR spectroscopy and small‑molecule synthesis. Publication experience is also evident in the supervisor’s record, indicating preparation for continued research or postdoctoral work.
