David Lindsay

David Lindsay is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde. He contributes to research in catalysis, particularly in iridium-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange reactions and synthesis beyond Lipinski space.

His research focuses on understanding reaction mechanisms and developing sustainable catalytic processes, with applications in chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical development. Collaborations include EPSRC-funded projects and partnerships with industry leaders.

Recent work, such as Probing substrate binding and release events in iridium-catalysed hydrogen isotope exchange reactions (2025), highlights his expertise in mechanistic studies using NMR and mass spectrometry.

David is active in research networks, with a fingerprint encompassing iridium chemistry, hydrogen isotope chemistry, and chemical reaction design. He supervises research projects and contributes to datasets in computational catalysis.
