Edward Eden
Ed began his PhD in October 2012, concentrating on the synthesis of novel, porous organic cages. He now focusses on pulse field gradient NMR techniques, and studies both cages and polymers. He doesn't know why.
He has a degree in philosophy (BA) from the University of Warwick (2008), and a degree in chemistry (MCHEM) from the University of Liverpool (2012). He worked at AstraZeneca for a year, as part of his undergraduate studies, focussing on scale-up and delivery of C1 material at a gram to kilogram scale. He completed his final year project under the supervision of Helen Aspinall, developing chiral lanthanide complexes for Lewis acid catalysis, winning the Ellard Woolcott prize for best performance in the Honours School of Chemistry.
When not in the lab, he enjoys running, reading, writing, and is a firm believer that, sometimes, baking really does make everything better. He is in charge of maintaining the website, and is responsible for the content therein.
