Alistair Lees' Research interests are in organometallic photochemistry with an emphasis on transition-metal photophysics and photoreactivity. He seeks to learn more about the nature and reactivity of electronically excited states and then apply this knowledge to a variety of new directions and applications, including host guest chemistry and new anion sensors. His team has recently discovered a system that accurately and selectively detects sulfites below 1 ppm in wines and ciders. Chancellor's Award for Excellence in TeachingAlistair J. Lees
