个人简介

Allan studied Chemistry at The University of Strathclyde and received his MSci in 2004. He then undertook PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Billy Kerr at Strathclyde. In 2008, he joined the laboratories of Prof. David W. C. MacMillan at Princeton University as a Lindemann Postdoctoral Fellow. Allan was appointed as a Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde in October 2010. Following an EPSRC Knowledge Transfer Secondment to GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, Allan returned to the Department in August 2011.
