Dr. Joe B. Gilroy

Joe B. Gilroy

Joe was born in Nanaimo, BC and grew up in Port Alberni, BC on Vancouver Island where he attended Alberni District Secondary School (ADSS).  After growing tired of small town life, he moved South, first to Malaspina University College (now Vancouver Island University) and then to the University of Victoria where he completed his B.Sc. in 2003.  He began his Ph.D. under the tutelage of Prof. Robin Hicks in 2003, working on a variety of projects involving stable radicals and their metal complexes, ligand design, and molecule-based magnetism.  After graduating in 2008, Joe was on the move again, joining the group of Prof. Ian Manners at the University of Bristol (UK).  His work in the Manners group spanned a number of areas including the synthesis and self-assembly of metal-containing polymers, mechanistic organometallic chemistry, and the chemistry of pi-conjugated, conducting polymers.  For more details, please see the publications page.
