AKA “Dr Fox”. As part of a BBSRC funded postdoctoral project Simon  synthesized DNA oligo-intercalators and studied their photophysical and biophysical properties. He has gone on to do further postdoctoral research with Dr Ben Coe at the University of Manchester

Simon Foxon

Veronica first came to Sheffield as an ERASMUS student. During her PhD she looked at DNA light-switches with mixed recognition motifs. She received her PhD in summer 2006

Chatna’s PhD project was on the interaction of photoluminescent Ru^II and organic cations with specific DNA structures. She was co-supervised by Dr Sham Haq. She received her PhD in Dec. 2005.

Chatna Rajput

AKA “Baldie.” Mike worked on mononuclear and mixed valence dinuclear thiacrown ruthenium complexes. He received his PhD in summer 2004.

Mike Newell

Naz worked on kinetically-locked and “soft” self-assembly using thiacrown ruthenium complexes. He received his PhD in spring 2004.

Naz Shan

Clive worked on mono– and dinuclear DNA light switch complexes. He received his PhD in spring 2002.

Clive Metcalfe

Sue was the first member of the Thomas group (a brave decision!) and did ALL the spade work on thiacrown complexes of ruthenium. She received her PhD in 2000.

Sue Roche

AKA “Wolfie.” Paul worked on the self assembly of heterometallic macrocyclic bowls - a project co-supervised by Dr Sarah Heath. He received his PhD in spring 2003.

Paul de Wolf

AKA “Fingers”. For his PhD project James looked at oligonuclear Ru^II thiacrown complexes containing redox active bridging ligands. He was co-supervised by Prof Mike Ward. He received his PhD in spring 2007.

Tim’s PhD project was on  photoactive organic molecules that bind to DNA. He received his  doctorate in autumn 2007.

Tim Phillips

 Vicky spent a year in the lab before going onto start a career in teaching.

Victoria Colclough

Dipesh came to Sheffield on a Royal Society Postdoctoral Fellowship. He  investigated the interaction of self-assembled receptors with duplex DNA and returned to an academic position in his native India.

Dipesh Ghosh

Phil carried out NMR studies on intercalators synthesized by the group. He was co-supervised by Prof Mike Williamson. He is currently writing up.
