Stephen Sproules

Stephen Sproules is a Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry at the School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow. His research group focuses on quantum information science, developing molecular qubits and quantum gates using synthetic inorganic chemistry and advanced physical characterization techniques.

Research interests span:

• Quantum computing with ligand-based spin systems
• Redox-active ligand design for transition metal complexes
• Advanced spectroscopic methods (EPR, XAS, XRD)
• Electron transfer processes in inorganic systems

Recent publications emphasize inorganic synthesis, quantum materials, and electrochemistry, with consistent themes of electron transfer, ligand design, and molecular magnetism. Work frequently explores dithiolene chemistry, actinide coordination, and stimuli-responsive materials.

Dr. Sproules leads an active research group offering PhD opportunities and collaborates extensively across disciplines including materials science and catalysis.
