Dr Jason McNulty
Lecturer in inorganic Chemistry
Biography
Dr Jason McNulty studied for his MChem in Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. He then remained in St Andrews to conduct his PhD studies with Dr Finlay Morrison from 2015-2018 with his research focusing on structure-property relationships in tungsten bronze oxide materials. In October 2018, Jason began work as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Professor Philip Lightfoot's group investigating the synthesis and characterisation of layered hybrid organic-inorganic tin- and lead-halide perovskite materials. Jason joined the faculty of the School of Chemistry in January 2021 as an Associate Lecturer (Education Focused) in Inorganic Chemistry. He was appointed as Lecturer in September 2022.
Jason is the School Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, the LGBTQI+ Champion, Co-Director of Wellbeing and a member of the School Ethics and Outreach committees. Jason is also a member of the University Mediation service.
Teaching
Jason contributes to teaching at both sub-honours and honours levels through lectures, tutorials and labs.
Jason provides lectures for CH3514 Physical Inorganic Chemistry (8 lectures 'Physical Chemistry and Bonding of Transition Metals'), CH3431 Chemistry Workshop ('Crystallography') and CH4514 Advanced Metal Chemistry and Green Chemistry (14 lectures 'Chemistry of 4d, 5d and f-Block Elements'). He contributes to the Inorganic Distance Learning Module (CH4455) based on his CH4514 content.
Jason is the module coordinator for CH2501 (Inorganic Chemistry 2), CH4421 (Research Skills Lab) and CH4514. Jason also contributes to tutorials for CH1401, CH1402, CH2501 and CH4461/5461 Integrating Chemistry and demonstrates in CH2501 and CH3521 Inorganic Lab courses.
