Biography
Roger Davey joined the department in 1993 as Professor of Molecular Engineering. He previously worked as a Research Associate for Zeneca and prior to that with ICI. In 2001 Roger was awarded an EPSRC Senior Research Fellowship to pursue his research on nucleation of molecular materials. In 2002 he founded the Molecular Materials Centre and in now a key figure in the Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry funded through the NWDA.
Research Interest
Crystal nucleation from solutions, Crystal Polymorphism, the preparation and pysical properties of molecular salts and cocrystals, formulation of pharmaceutical materials, solution chemistry and moelcular self assembly, crystallisation as means of enatiomer separation.
