Dominic graduated from the University of York in 2019 with a Master’s degree in Chemistry. His interests in sustainable chemistry research arose during his final year master’s project undertaken in the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence. In the Centre, Dominic worked with Professor Michael North on catalysing the reaction between carbon dioxide and three-membered heterocycles to form value-added chemicals. Outside of chemistry, Dominic enjoys reading, cycling, and triathlons.
