About the speaker: John E. McGrady is a professor of Computational Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford. His research interests involve the application of a variety of electronic structure methods to problems of structure, bonding, reactivity, and magnetism. He has a particular interest in metal cluster chemistry and bonds between metal atoms. Between 1997 and 2006 John was a lecturer and senior lecturer at the University of York, after which he moved to the University of Glasgow as WestCHEM Professor between 2006 and 2009, when he took up his present position at Oxford. Earlier he held postdoctoral positions at Imperial College (1994-95, with Professor Mike Mingos) and at the Australian National University in Canberra (1995-1997, with Professor Robert Stranger).
