Dr James Crowley
Affiliation: 
University of Otago
Biography: 

Dr Crowley’s research interest encompasses Organic/ Inorganic/ Organometallic/ Materials/ Supramolecular Chemistry/ Nanoscience. His group works on the design and synthesis of new functional materials.

James obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) (1998) and M.Sc. (2000) from Victoria University of Wellington and completed his PhD
(2000–2005) at the University of Chicago under the direction of Prof. Brice Bosnich. In 2005 he moved to Prof. David Leigh’s
group at the University of Edinburgh, where he was awarded a British Ramsay Memorial Trust Fellowship (2006–2008), to
carry out research on molecular machines. He started his independent career at the University of Otago in 2008 and was
promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2011. His major research interests are in catalysis, self-assembly, molecular recognition and
the development of molecular machines.
