I am Professor of Supramolecular ÀË»¨Ö±²¥, and current Head of Inorganic ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ at the University of Leeds. I was educated at the University of Melbourne, gaining a PhD in 1996. After postdoctoral positions in the US and Australia, I was appointed as lecturer in inorganic chemistry at Leeds in 2001. My research interests are in the areas of metallo-supramolecular chemistry, host-guest chemistry, along with a strong interest in chemical crystallography. The research group has a particular focus on the development of molecular hosts and cages of the cyclotriveratrylene-host family; self-assembly and behaviour of discrete nano-scale metallo-supramolecular cages and complexes; networked crystalline assemblies; and coordination polymers/metal-organic frameworks from host-like or simpler ligands. I was awarded the RSC Corday-Morgan Prize and Medal in 2011.
