About the editors
Chief Editor: Stuart Cantrill
After working on Nature Nanotechnology since January 2006, first as an associate and then senior editor, Stuart made the switch to Nature Chemistry in early 2008. Before joining Nature Publishing Group, he was a lecturer and research associate in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at UCLA, where he also ran an editorial office of Organic Letters. A graduate of Birmingham University in the UK, Stuart obtained his PhD in chemistry from UCLA in 2001, followed by postdoctoral research at Caltech. His main research interests were in the fields of supramolecular chemistry, self-assembly processes and interlocked molecules.
Associate Editor: Gavin Armstrong
Gavin joined Nature Chemistry in April 2008. He graduated from the University of Leeds with an MChem in 2002, and remained there to undertake a PhD in nonlinear chemical dynamics. His research focused on pattern formation and travelling waves in excitable chemical systems. Before joining Nature Chemistry, Gavin worked for the Royal Society of Chemistry as an assistant editor of Soft Matter and the Journal of Materials Chemistry.
Associate Editor: Stephen Davey
Stephen joined Nature Chemistry in April 2008. He completed an MChem degree at the University of Sheffield in 2000. During his PhD at Sheffield, and later at Imperial College London, he focused on organic synthesis and catalysis, working on chiral nucleophilic organocatalysis. In 2004, he moved to Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in the Netherlands, investigating the synthesis and applications of light-driven molecular motors. In 2006, he joined the Royal Society of Chemistry as assistant editor of Lab on a Chip and the Journal of Environmental Monitoring. From late 2008, Stephen will be based in the Boston office.
Associate Editor: Neil Withers
Neil joined Nature Chemistry in April 2008. He received his MSci and PhD degrees in chemistry from the University of Durham. His research focused on solid-state inorganic chemistry, making oxychalcogenide materials at high temperatures and characterizing them using powder X-ray and neutron diffraction, conductivity and SQUID measurements. In 2004, Neil joined the Royal Society of Chemistry as a technical editor, before becoming part of the editorial team at the Journal of Materials Chemistry and Soft Matter. From 2006, he was the editor of Chemical Technology — one of the RSC's news magazines — contributing articles to Chemistry World.
Associate Editor: Anne Pichon
Anne received a broad training in chemistry at the National Graduate School of Chemistry in Montpellier, France. She then focused on inorganic and supramolecular chemistry and obtained her MPhil and PhD degrees from the Queen's University Belfast, UK, investigating porous coordination polymers for host–guest applications. After an internship with Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, Anne moved to John Wiley and Sons in 2007 as an assistant editor of the Society of Chemical Industry journals. She joined Nature Chemistry in October 2008, and from early 2009 will be based in Tokyo, where she will also be working on other publishing projects with Nature Asia-Pacific.
