Paul Beer

Professor Paul Beer is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, affiliated with Wadham College. His research focuses on host-guest supramolecular chemistry, including the synthesis of novel macrocyclic and interlocked host molecules for applications in molecular sensing, environmental remediation, and nanotechnology. He collaborates with Professor Jason Davis on surface and nanoparticle-based anion sensors.

• Education: Not explicitly stated in the provided text.

His research interests include:
- Design of redox- and photo-active reporter groups for selective anion detection
- Development of mechanically interlocked molecules (e.g., rotaxanes, catenanes) for molecular machines and switches
- Ion pair recognition for toxic waste extraction
- Nanoparticle-enhanced anion detection systems

He leads the Beer Research Group and has contributed to advancements in molecular sensors and environmental chemistry.
