Sally Bloodworth

Dr Sally Bloodworth is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, operating at the intersection of mathematics and chemistry. Her current research focuses on chemometrics (statistical analysis of chemical data), meta-research on data publishing practices in physical sciences, and medical statistics. She previously specialized in organometallic chemistry and endofullerenes synthesis.

• MSc in Applied Statistics (University of Strathclyde, 2025)
• PhD in Organozirconium Chemistry (University of Southampton, 2003)
• MSci in Medicinal Chemistry (University College London, 1999)

Bloodworth's research bridges data science and chemical experimentation, with particular emphasis on understanding organic reactions through data-driven approaches. Her work involves:

• Developing statistical models for chemical data analysis
• Studying molecular confinement effects
• Investigating nuclear coupling phenomena
• Advancing data accessibility standards in chemistry

She collaborates across disciplines and holds an honorary appointment at Strathclyde's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Bloodworth's publications demonstrate her evolving focus from synthetic chemistry to quantitative chemical analysis.

Professional affiliations include:

• Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society
• Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry
• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
