Huw
D. Vater (Graduate Research Assistant)
[2002-2006]
Huw
Vater obtained an M. Sci. degree in Chemistry with first class honors
from Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge (U.K.) in 2002. Huw conducted
his Part III research project with Dr Jon Burton and investigated diastereoselective
allylation reactions. After graduation, Huw joined the Blakemore Research
Group at the University of Leeds and achieved the first examples of stereospecific
reagent controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters by enantioenriched
alkyllithium and alkylmagnesium carbenoids. Huw completed his Ph. D. research
in Leeds under the local guidance of Dr. Stephen Marsden in 2006.
