Alistair Fielding is Programme Leader for the MSc in Drug Discovery, Development, and Delivery and a Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK. His research focuses on using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to tackle challenges in biological and material sciences, particularly in studying structure and transient intermediates.
Alistair earned his Ph.D. at UCL (1998–2002) under Professor Brian Roberts, investigating polarity-reversal catalysis and developing synthetic methodologies. He then specialized in advanced EPR techniques during his postdoctoral research with the Eaton group at the University of Denver (2003–2006), focusing on metal centres. Subsequent fellowships at CEA Saclay (2006–2008) and the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen (2008–2012) expanded his expertise in high-field EPR and electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), where he developed calibration procedures for freeze-quench apparatus and contributed to multifrequency EPR advancements.
From 2012 to 2017, Alistair served as a Bruker Applications Scientist/Senior Lecturer at the EPSRC National Service for EPR Spectroscopy, University of Manchester. In this role, he collaborated with research groups across the UK, applying EPR across multiple scientific disciplines.
At LJMU, he leads a research group investigating radical chemistry of carbon-based material, mechanistic organic chemistry, heme chemistry, plastic degradation and drug-derived radical species. His academic responsibilities also include teaching advanced analytical techniques such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography.
Consulting
Collaborative partnerships are welcomed both nationally and internationally, with openness to new opportunities. Phone inquiries are always encouraged. With extensive experience in working with industry partners, he specializes in tackling complex analytical challenges using EPR and other analytical techniques. Industrial EPR sample analysis is available using the Bruker EMX EPR instrument at LJMU.
For those interested in discussing potential collaborations or seeking assistance with an analytical challenge, enquiries are welcomed.
The PI/group can be found on Twitter (@Fielding_Group), LinkedIn, and ResearchGate.
PhD Students
To date, seven students have completed their PhDs under his supervision, all of whom have pursued careers in academia or industry. New applications are always welcome.
