个人简介
Wes is Reader in Organic Chemistry. He obtained his MChem and PhD (2004) under the supervision of Professor Joe Harrity at the University of Sheffield. He then spent two years at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Professor Jim Morken’s group followed by 17 months at The University of Manchester in Professor Jonathan Clayden’s group. He began his independent career in September 2007 as Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at the University of Huddersfield and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in August 2009 and to Reader in August 2015.
研究领域
We are based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Huddersfield. Our research is in the field of synthetic organic chemistry and we are particularly interested in polyvalent iodine compounds, C-H activation and the synthesis of small molecules.
