Research Interests

The specific research interests in the David Jackson research group lie in six overlapping areas, i) metal catalysed hydrogenation, ii) heterogeneous catalysis in fine chemicals synthesis, iii) catalyst activation and catalyst deactivation, iv) dehydrogenation, v) adsorption, and vi) base catalysis. All of which fall within the concepts of the Catalysis Research Centre set up at Glasgow.
