PhD Opportunities
We welcome motivated and creative candidates interested in joining the Dydio Lab to pursue a PhD starting in October 2026. For further information about available projects and application procedures, please contact pd552@cam.ac.uk.

Research

The Dydio group is researching new ways to improve the efficiency and capacity of organic synthesis.

Areas of interest include:

  • Complex Networks of Reactions
  • Mechanism-based design of new transformations
  • Advancing key industrial processes driven by elucidating their mechanistic features
