Paul Watts
Principal Investigator
Dr. Paul Watts graduated from the University of Bristol (UK) in 1995 with a first class B.Sc in chemistry. He continued his studies at Bristol, obtaining a Ph.D. in bio-organic natural product chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Tom Simpson FRS and Prof. Chris Willis. His Ph.D. focussed on the synthesis of isotopically labelled compounds, for use in determination of biosynthetic pathways to polyketide-derived natural products. Paul subsequently worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Hull, where he investigated organic synthesis in micro reactors. In February 2002, he was appointed as an academic at the University of Hull where he now leads the micro reactor group, which consists of 3 post doctoral researchers and 7 PhD students. He is interested in organic chemistry, catalysis, biocatalysis and electrosynthesis in micro reactors and has published more than 70 papers in the area.
