in 1986, and with a PhD in organic chemistry in 1990. He then worked at
Columbia University, New York, with Professor Clark Still, before return-
ing to Cambridge as a Research Fellow at Clare College. He is now a Royal
Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry, and
uses both computational and experimental techniques to study organic
chemistry. He is aged 35, and has recently published a book with the Royal
Society of Chemistry, Chemical Applications of Molecular Modelling,
which introduces experimental organic chemists to computational tech-
niques.
