Dr Patrick Robertson
College Lecturer in Physical Chemistry
I am a stipendiary lecturer in physical chemistry at Hertford College and a postdoctoral researcher in chemical reaction dynamics. I completed my PhD at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia in 2018. I then undertook a postdoc appointment at the University of Bristol, where I researched the effects of solvent environment on photocatalsyis using ultrafast laser spectroscopy. I joined Prof. Claire Vallance’s research group in April 2021, where I study electron-molecule collision dynamics of biologically relevant molecules such as DNA building blocks and small peptides.
