معرفی
James Wright is a Lecturer at the University of Surrey in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, focusing on Physical, Analytical, and Inorganic Chemistry. He holds a PhD from the University of Sheffield (2016) and has previously held teaching and research positions at the University of Sheffield, Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology, and the University of Reading-Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology Joint Academy.
- Education:
- MChem, PhD (University of Sheffield)
His research spans two primary domains: pedagogical studies in transnational education for Confucian heritage students and cognitive load reduction in undergraduate chemistry labs, and chemical research in main-group non-covalent intermolecular forces, non-ambient crystallography, and selective gas adsorption. His pedagogical work includes analyzing laboratory skill transitions in UK-China joint degree programs and implementing practical skills portfolios for assessment.
Recent chemical research highlights include atmospheric solids analysis probe mass spectrometry integration in teaching labs, electrochemical oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides, and metal-free Buchner-type reactions for cyclopropane synthesis. He also investigates coordination polymers and quantum defects in atomic systems.
His publications reflect a blend of chemistry education and chemical synthesis, with notable collaborations including Prof Lee Brammer (his PhD supervisor) and researchers in transnational education. He supervises final-year BSc and MChem research projects but does not list individual students.
