About Peter

Professor Peter Cormack is Professor of Polymer Chemistry and Head of Materials and Computational Chemistry in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Strathclyde. He graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a BSc in Chemistry with First Class Honours in 1992 and obtained his PhD in Polymer Chemistry there in 1996 under the supervision of Professor David C. Sherrington and Dr Barry D. Moore. His doctoral research focused on the design and solid-phase synthesis of monodisperse liquid crystalline peptides and the synthesis of thermotropic polypeptides via anionic ring-opening polymerisation of mesogenic N-carboxyanhydrides. After his PhD, he served as Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the University of Cambridge's Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis in 1996, working on hyperbranched vinyl polymers, and then at Lund University, Sweden, from 1997 as Post-Doctoral Fellow and later Vice-Director of Research in the Center for Molecular Imprinting and Molecular Recognition.
