Staff Profile

Peter completed his MChem (2014) and PhD (2019) in organometallic chemistry at Newcastle University. Following this he worked as a PDRA at Manchester University and Imperial College London before returning to Newcastle University to steward the Physical Chemistry Teaching lab, in which the undergraduate students are taught an array of analytical techniques and applications of the taught Physical Chemistry modules.
