I am currently based at Tokyo Metropolitan University, having previously been at Hull and UEA. I have published 545 research publications (H index 66, ~20,000 citations), mostly in catalysis and coordination chemistry, and given over 100 invited lectures worldwide (including Keynote and Plenary talks). Projects span topics such as structural calixarene chemistry, alpha-olefin polymerization catalysis, new catalysts for biodegradable polymers via ring opening polymerization (ROP) and metal-based imaging/anti-cancer agents. International collaborations include projects on gas storage, water splitting, sensors, heterogeneous catalysis, batteries with universities in the USA, Canada, China, Japan, Finland and Australia. Catalysis work and hydrogen storage work has been patented and licensed (e.g. to the Mitsui Chemical Corp.).
