Daniel Dawson

Dr. Daniel Dawson is a Researcher at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews, specializing in NMR spectroscopy and materials science. His work focuses on structural characterization of materials using advanced NMR techniques, particularly in understanding the atomic-level structures of catalysts, zeolites, and functional materials. Recent research includes studies on boro-alumino-silicate glasses, boron-functionalized carbon nitride photocatalysts, and γ-alumina frameworks. He has contributed to advancements in catalytic materials, gas separation technologies, and sustainable chemical processes. His publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental and computational methods.

Key research interests include NMR crystallography, zeolite synthesis, and the application of solid-state NMR to study material degradation mechanisms. Collaborative projects involve applications in energy materials and waste valorization, such as lignin isolation from agricultural waste. Dawson’s work often bridges fundamental chemistry with practical industrial applications, addressing challenges in catalysis and material durability.
