个人简介

Dominic S. Wright was born in Gosport (U.K.) in 1964. He obtained a first in pure and applied chemistry at Strathclyde University (1982-1986) before moving to Cambridge in 1989, where he undertook Ph.D. study under the supervision of the late Ron Snaith (of Ring-Stacking and Ring-Laddering fame) (1986- 1989). He gained a college research fellowship at Gonville and Caius College Cambridge (1989-1991), before becoming a lecturer in the inorganic section (1991- 2002). He was promoted to reader in 2002. Wright has published over 200 papers on diverse aspects of main group and transition metal chemistry. He is also named inventor on 6 international patents. He was the recipient of the 1993 Royal Society Meldola Medal.

研究领域

Materials/Synthesis

The current group consists of three Erasmus students (Spanish and German), a final-year student, an M.Phil. student (USA), four Ph.D. students and a postdoctoral researcher. Funding comes from the EPSRC (U.K.) and the EU, as well as from industry. We have active collaborations with German (Würzburg, Leipzig, Marburg Universities) and Spanish (Oviedo, Alcala) institutes, as well as those in the UK (Liverpool and Strathclyde Universities).
