Currently in the second year of her PhD, Ruth is working on catalytic reversible oxygen transfer processes under the joint supervision of Steve Bull and Jon Williams. Outside of the lab Ruth enjoys swimming, socialising and volunteering as a STEM ambassador.
Hailing from New Barn in Kent, Lucy obtained a MChem from University of Bath in 2009. Currently in the final year of her PhD, Lucy is working on nitrone chemistry for the synthesis of aromatic and heteroaromatic products. Outside of the lab Lucy likes to practice and perform samba, go to the cinema and build a gin collection.
Sarah graduated with a MChem in Chemistry from the University of Bath in 2010. She joined the Doctoral Training Centre at the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies in October 2010. Having undertaken two projects in the first year of her integrated PhD in the areas of biocatalysis and magnetic nanocatalysis; Sarah is now investigating catalytic activation of pyridines for further elaboration in a joint PhD project with Prof. Jonathan Williams and Dr. Pawel Plucinski. In her spare time Sarah enjoys reading, swimming, boxing and circuit training.
Originally from Solihull, Richard graduated from Bath in 2011 with a MChem in Chemistry.
Part of his degree was spent on Industrial Placement at BioFocus where he worked
on ‘hit to lead optimisation’ within the medicinal chemistry department. He is now
a second year PhD student working on the synthesis of α,β-
Coming from Chippenham, Luke has returned to the local area after obtaining his MEng in Biochemical Engineering from UCL in 2010. As part of the Doctoral Training Centre in Sustainable Chemical Technologies he has completed projects focused on continuous reactor processing and polymer science. He is currently investigating the use of biology as a tool for synthetic chemistry, specifically through biotransformations and biosynthesis of fine chemicals using Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius. Aside from academic interests, Luke is an avid fan of role playing and strategy games as well as reading and writing science fiction.
Originally from Cheltenham, Chris completed his MChem from the University of Bath in 2012 where he was awarded the Robert W Bolland prize for most outstanding student. He is currently in his first year of his PhD developing clean electrochemical techniques for functional group transformations in a joint project with Prof. Frank Marken. In his spare time Chris enjoys playing and coaching badminton, and playing the piano in musicals.
Originally from Anderlecht in Belgium, David comes to Bath via University College Dublin where he obtained his undergraduate degree. Having just begun his PhD David is working on the nucleophilic substitution of aromatic compounds, currently investigating the use of auxiliary electron withdrawing groups to influence the facility of the substitution reaction under joint supervision with Prof. Jonathan Williams. Outside of the lab David enjoys reading, puzzles, foreign film and board games.
Originally from Shropshire, Dave completed his MChem at The University of Bath in 2010 and went on to study for a PhD jointly supervised by Steve Bull and Tony James. Dave is in his final year working on Chiral Dervitisation Protocols and other boronic acid related projects. Outside of university life Dave plays bass guitar, enjoys going to the gym and drinking the occasional bottle of single malt whiskey.
