James Taylor

Dr. James Taylor is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Bath developing sustainable catalytic processes. He holds a PhD from University of Bath and focuses on green synthetic methodologies.

His research investigates:

• Boronic acid-catalyzed dehydrative synthesis
• Electrochemically driven deoxydehydration reactions
• Paired electrosynthesis without supporting electrolytes
• Organocatalytic asymmetric transformations

He has secured funding from EPSRC and Royal Society for developing novel catalytic systems with applications in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. His work emphasizes environmentally friendly processes with reduced energy and chemical inputs.
