Wildgoose, Gregory - University of East Anglia

个人简介

Greg obtained his MChem and DPhil from Oxford University in 2003 and 2006 respectively. For his DPhil he studied under Prof Richard G. Compton, developing chemically modified nanomaterials for electrochemical sensors and studying their fundamental properties. In 2006 he was elected to a Junior Research Fellowship at St. John’s College, Oxford, and continued to work alongside Prof Compton. In 2009 Greg was awarded a prestigious Royal Society University Research Fellowship. He not only moved to establish his research group within the School of Chemistry at UEA in October of that year, but moved the area of his research to synthesise and develop inorganic electrocatalysts for energy and materials applications. In 2012 Greg was promoted to Reader of Chemistry, elected as FRSC in 2014 and promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 2015. Greg serves as an Associate Editor for RSC Advances, and as a reviewer for over 24 leading chemical journals. He has presented numerous invited Keynote and Plenary lectures around the world, and serves as an external reviewer for the National Science Foundation of South Africa. Greg is a co-inventor of the founding technology of Senova Systems, a spin-off company based in California, and sits on the company’s Scientific Advisory Board.

研究领域

Dr Wildgoose’s research interests are broad, spanning areas of inorganic and organic synthetic chemistry (e.g. calixarenes), materials chemistry (including nanomaterials and analytical surface science techniques such as electron microscopy, AFM and XPS), and physical electrochemistry. The over-arching aim of his current research is the synthesis and characterisation of organometallic and inorganic main group complexes, including the use of Frustrated Lewis Pairs, in conjunction with studies of their electrochemical properties. These are then used to drive (electro)catalytic reactions with applications in both “green synthesis” and clean energy production and storage.
