Biography
Tony Davis gained a B.A. in Chemistry from Oxford University in 1977, then stayed on for a D.Phil. under Dr. G. H. Whitham and two years' postdoctoral work with Prof. J. E. Baldwin. In 1981 he moved to the ETH Zürich as a Royal Society European Exchange Fellow working with Prof. A. Eschenmoser, then in 1982 was appointed as a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at Trinity College, Dublin. In September 2000 he moved to the University of Bristol, where he is Professor of Supramolecular Chemistry in the School of Chemistry.
Research Interest
Current research interests include; supramolecular Chemistry, carbohydrate recognition, anion recognition and transport; crystal engineering, computer-aided molecular design. Professor Davis is a supervisor in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Chemical Synthesis
