Lewis, Frank - University of Northumbria - Department of Applied Sciences，The Applied Chemistry Research Group

个人简介

He is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin where he obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry in 2008 in the group of Prof. David Grayson for his work on novel chiral sulfones. He was then appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Reading with Prof. Laurence Harwood working on the design and synthesis of ligands for selective actinide extraction (as part of the EU FP7-funded ACSEPT project). In 2012, he was appointed as an Anniversary Research Fellow in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at Northumbria University. Frank is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society, and served as the Assistant Editor for the UK Editorial Office of Synlett (2008-2012). He has interests in a wide range of chemistry, including the design of ligands for targeted metal ions, medicinal chemistry, asymmetric synthesis and synthetic methodology.
