Undergraduate Teaching

Organic Chemistry.

Research Interests

Synthetic organic chemistry: our work is based on the development of new synthetic methods, and on the total synthesis of bioactive molecules. We are particularly interested in complexity-inducing reactions such as cascade or sequenced processes, where several chemical steps take place in a single reaction process, and the application of these reactions in synthesis.

For further details, see Professor Anderson's departmental website.

Family

My wife Emma is a lecturer in virology at Warwick University. We have recently had a baby boy called Owen!

Hobbies

Outside of chemistry, I enjoy running, cycling, swimming, hiking and gardening - although I don't have as much time for all of these as I used to!
