Nathan Coles

​​

Nathan is originally from near Kettering, in the town where a popular breakfast cereal is made. He received his MChem in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry in 2015 from Warwick University.  He then obtained his PhD from the University of Bath under the supervision of Dr Ruth Webster, focusing on mechanistic studies of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation and hydrophosphination. 

​

Nathan's research interests include conducting detailed spectroscopic analysis of reactions to try and truly understand reactions at a fundamental level as well as the synthesis and reactivity of multi-metallic and low-coordinate transition metal complexes.

​

Outside of chemistry, Nathan enjoys travelling and painting plastic miniatures.
