Daniel Galano

Biography:

Daniel Galano was born in London. He obtained his Master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Nottingham, where his thesis involved using quantum mechanical density functional theory (DFT) methods to study rhenium complexes and evaluate their usability as photosensitisers and DNA probes. He is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Manchester under the supervision of Professor Nikolas Kaltsoyannis, working with the Mehta group at the University of Oxford to better understand the mechanisms by which main group clusters catalyse organic transformations, as well as conducting research into a new class of nitrogen chain radical anions.
