Biography

Scott Dalgarno was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1978. He obtained both his MChem (2001) and PhD (2004) at the University of Leeds, the latter working under the supervision of Profs. Colin Raston and Michaele Hardie. Following this he took up a postdoctoral research position with Prof. Jerry Atwood at the University of Missouri before being appointed as a lecturer at Heriot-Watt University in 2007 and promoted to reader in 2010. He has won several RSC prises (a Harrison Meldola Memorial Prize in 2010, the inaugural Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator Lectureship in 2011, and the Sir Edward Frankland Lectureship in 2015), has published > 140 papers, 3 book chapters and 1 patent, and has an h-index of 41. His research interests include supramolecular chemistry, calixarenes, coordination chemistry, polymetallic complexes, crystal engineering, framework materials and, more recently, the development of new supramolecular photocatalysts with a view to incorporating them into new functional materials.
