John obtained a Masters in Chemical Physics from the University of Edinburgh, following this he developed an interest in computational chemistry and electrochemistry while undertaking his PhD at Edinburgh. Following his PhD work he has continued to study a wide range of electrochemical systems at in Edinburgh and in Bochum.

John recently joined the University of Wolverhampton in 2014 as Lecturer in Physical Chemistry. His teaching will primarily focus on physical chemistry in the new chemistry course.

Developed an accurate method for calculating redox potentials of heteroaromatic molecules. Aided in the development of a system to combine electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with nanogravimetry to study interfacial processes in situ.
