Catalysis Applications

Dr Kaur is a dedicated and research-oriented Assistant Professor with over 14 years of experience in teaching and advanced research in chemistry. Expertise in nanomaterials, environmental remediation, and analytical techniques. Proven track record in publications, patents, and academic contributions with strong interest in innovative materials and foldamer-based systems.

Abigail Knight is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research group works at the interface of chemical biology and polymer science, developing protein-mimetic synthetic macromolecules with biomimetic hierarchical structure.

The Luk Group, based at the University of Cardiff, aims to empower protein science and its applications, through (a) Protein labelling via biocatalysts, (b) Discovery of Peptide Binders, and (c) Enzyme catalysed bifunctional ligand synthesis.

Professor Ian Hamley is Diamond Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Reading.

Dr Cristina Trujillo is the Lecturer and Deputy Head of Computational & Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Manchester.

Edina Rosta is a Professor of Molecular Modelling in the Condensed Matter & Materials Physics group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London.

Professor Craig Butts is the Head of the School of Chemistry and Professor of Structural and Mechanistic Chemistry at the University of Bristol. The Butts Research Group tackles challenges based around organic molecular structure and reaction mechanism, principally using NMR spectroscopy - the most information-rich analytical technique available to chemists.

Varinder's research interests include; the development of new catalytic processes for asymmetric synthesis; the development of chiral carbenoids and their use and subsequent applications in catalysis and synthesis; the development of new methodology and its applications in synthesis; total synthesis of biologically important targets.

The Lusby group has established itself as pioneers in the field of application-led supramolecular chemistry, developing methods in catalysis, biomedicine and magnetism. Professor Paul Lusby started his independent academic career as a Royal Society URF at the University of Edinburgh, where he now holds a personal chair in supramolecular chemistry.

Charlie McTernan is a Group Leader in the Physical Sciences at the Francis Crick Institute in London, and a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry at King's College London. He is a Supramolecular Chemist, investigating how Artificial Molecular Machines and Metal-Organic Capsules can be applied in Biomedical Science.
