Biography
Alex obtained his PhD in Chemistry in 2007 from the University of Nottingham for the study of inorganic reaction mechanisms, under the supervision of Professor Mike George. Following a postdoctoral position at Nottingham he moved to Imperial College London to study photoelectrochemical water splitting with Professor David Klug. In 2011 Alex was appointed to a Lectureship in Renewable Fuel Synthesis at Imperial College on the Artificial Leaf programme. In October 2012 he joined the department of Chemistry at Liverpool University and in 2013 Alex was awarded an EPSRC early career fellowship on the topic of carbon dioxide reduction.
