Tommy Pitcher
College Lecturer in Chemistry
Tommy completed an MChem degree at Somerville College, Oxford, before moving to Keble College for a DPhil in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry under the supervision of Professors Christiane Timmel and Peter Hore. Tommy’s research probed the possible role that cryptochrome proteins play in avian magnetoreception, through a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV-visible spectroscopies.
Tommy is responsible for tutoring Mathematics for Chemists for first-year students at Hertford. As well as teaching this course at several other colleges, Tommy also tutors Physical Chemistry at St Catherine’s College and University College.
