Biography

Professor Paul Wyatt holds a M.A. and Ph.D. from Cambridge University and specializes in Chemistry Education. His research focuses on Asymmetric Synthetic Methods and the preparation of single enantiomers. He explores compounds that serve as useful tools in the development of important chemical processes with intriguing properties of symmetry. His investigations emphasize the application of symmetry elements in molecules with higher symmetry and the unique properties that arise from them. His programme is dedicated to investigating exotic symmetry elements and chirality. In collaboration with Prof. Julian Eastoe, he works on Physical Chemistry, specifically investigating photo-active surfactants and innovative methods for modifying detergent behaviour to achieve the cleanest and most environmentally friendly results. Through his thesis supervisions, he guides students in exploring the intricacies of iron speciation and the cross-coupling chemistry necessary for advanced synthesis.
