Tim is from Chester in the UK and completed his PhD with Prof. Paul Beer at the University of Oxford in supramolecular chemistry, specifically on molecular motion in rotaxanes and catenanes. From 2016-2020 he was a Junior Research Fellow in Oxford (Christ Church college) working on the supramolecular chemistry of fullerene nanomaterials. During this time, Tim also worked in the lab of Prof. Colin Nuckolls at Columbia University (US) on organic electronic materials.
In 2020 Tim moved to the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham where he is now an Associate Professor in Supramolecular Chemistry. His group’s research interests span synthetic organic, supramolecular and materials chemistry, including projects on organic dye-based macrocycles, molecular recognition and mechanically interlocked molecules. Our research aims to advance fundamental understanding of (aromatic) non-covalent interactions, the interactions of molecules with (chiral) light and energy/electron transfer processes, with applications across organic (opto)electronics, chemical sensing and materials chemistry.
