The Team

Prof. Tell Tuttle

Group Leader

Head of Department of Chemistry

University of Strathclyde

Tell Tuttle’s research is focused on the concept of “reducing molecular search spaces”. The group works closely with experimental colleagues to address practical problems in the areas of molecular structure, molecular recognition, molecular reactivity and molecular properties. The understanding derived from the computational and theoretical methods employed in this research results in the generation of predictive models that are used to design molec- ular-based solutions to arange of prob- lems, from fields as diverse as fundamental chemistry through to drug discovery,and from nanotechnology through to organic elec- tronics.

Dr. David Palmer

Group Leader

Reader in Chemistry

University of Strathclyde

David Palmer's research group develop theory, simulation and informatics methods to study complex biochemical systems. Recent projects have included enzyme redesign for uses in food manufacturing (in collaboration with Chr. Hansen A/S) and the development of new methods for computational drug discovery (in collaboration with GSK and AstraZeneca).

David is also Founding Director and Chief Data Scientist of Dxcover, a University spinout company that is developing the world's first cost-effective diagnostic for brain tumours.

Dr Tahereh Nematiaram

Group Leader

Strathclyde Chancellor's Fellow

University of Strathclyde

Tahereh Nematiaram is a theoretician specialising in the development of methods that combine novel physical models with computational screening to identify advanced materials with targeted properties, determine the realistic physical limits to such properties, and drive practical materials (inverse) design strategies. Currently, Tahereh's research is focused on:
