  Dr Stephen Potter, Salters’ Fellow 1975 - 1977

After his doctorate at Sheffield with Ian Sutherland,  and a Harkness Fellowship (Professor Alan Battersby had had one of these earlier) at Yale working with Jerry Berson, Stephen was a Salters' Fellow in the department from 1975 to 1977:  he had his own project trying to synthesise artificial enzymes based on macrocyclic soaps and was associated with Alan Battersby’s group [Alan Battersby recently celebrated his 90th birthday with a symposium in the department]. 

Since leaving the department, Stephen has had an active and varied life all over the world as an inventor, creator of businesses, CTO, and dealer in intellectual property and patents.
