I run a single-crystal X-ray diffraction service, and can provide molecular structure from crystalline solid materials. From suitably-sized crystals I can determine an atomic-scale structure model of the compound(s) that make up the crystals. Determination of absolute configuration of chiral compounds is often possible. Studies can be carried out at temperatures between 100 and 400K.
The University of St Andrews is a mid-sized, comprehensive public research university in Scotland with a strong international outlook and collaborative culture. Industry engagement is enabled by a nearby innovation campus with flexible labs, test bays, and workspace for joint projects, plus on‑campus facilities for imaging, prototyping, and advanced fabrication. Clinical translation is supported through partnerships with NHS organizations, and companies tap into talent via placements, consultancy, and collaborative studentships. Research is supported by competitive funding from UK Research and Innovation councils, the Scottish Funding Council, European programs, and major charitable foundations. A dedicated technology transfer office streamlines IP, licensing, spinouts, and contracting for partners.
