Biography

Mark Greenhalgh is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick, where he focuses on the development of new catalytic methods for synthesizing small molecules. His research particularly emphasizes the exploitation of poorly understood chemical phenomena to devise novel modes of catalysis. He aims to attain a fundamental mechanistic understanding of the science underlying these new methods to direct future research efforts. Mark's group is actively engaged in investigating the application of unconventional non-covalent interactions involving main group elements in catalysis. His work extends into pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials research, contributing broadly to the development of a fundamental understanding of unconventional non-covalent interactions applied across diverse fields, including sensing and drug discovery. Mark coordinates the Undergraduate International Research Placements and fosters international partnerships for student groups at Warwick.
