Thomas Draper completed both his BSc and MSc in Chemistry at the University of Bristol, UK, focusing on catalysis and air-sensitive inorganic synthesis, with Professor Robin Bedford. He earned his PhD jointly under Dr John Turner and Dr Qiao Chen, at the University of Sussex, UK in 2016. His PhD, situated at the inorganic/physical border, involved air-sensitive organometallic synthesis, small molecule activation, heterogeneous photocatalysis, and nanotechnology. Afterwards he worked as a Post-doctoral Research Associate under Professor Andrew Adamatzky at UWE Bristol, UK for 2.5 years, studying the creation, optimisation, and use in unconventional computing, of liquid marbles. He joined Dr Juan Pérez-Mercader’s group as a Post-doctoral Fellow in November 2019 on the “Top-down Synthesis of an Ex-novo Chemical Artificial Living System” project.
Harvard University Post-doctoral Fellow positions available for Chemistry or Physics or Computer Science Ph.D.’s to work in a project on the "Top-down Synthesis of Biologically Inspired Chemically Operated Systems" led by Dr. Juan Perez-Mercader in Harvard's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and within Harvard University's Origins of Life Initiative.
We have several positions available for recent Ph.D.’s to become involved in experimental work on (1)...
Please follow this link to a Harvard Gazette article featuring some extremely innovative work by EPS Senior Research Fellow Juan Perez Mercader on the origins of life. Quoting from the article, "A Harvard researcher seeking a model for the earliest cells has created a system that self-assembles from a...
