Multiway NMR mixture analysis

Biography
In 2019 I achieved an MChem at the University of Manchester in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry. This involved research projects in: Investigating the Structure activity relationships of analogues of Incarviditonea as potential anti-tumour agents and the development of an Enantio- and Regioselective borocyanation of Aryl 1,3-dienes. In 2017 I undertook an RSC funded studentship with the NMR methodology group focusing on Pure shift NMR as an analytical tool for complex mixtures.
