Biography

  

Michael John PLATER 

 

Summary

John Plater has degrees from three universities: BSc in chemistry First Class (Loughborough 1986), PhD in heterocyclic synthesis, (Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine 1989) and DSc (Aberdeen 2009)

He graduated with a Doctor of Science on 7th July 2009. This was awarded by the University of Aberdeen after the approval from three external referee's of a bound thesis of all published work with a short synopsis in the period 1990-2002. It vindicates the high standard of the applicants research activities.

DSc thesis title: Innovation in Organic Chemistry

PhD thesis title: Trithiadiazapyne (3 sulphurs, 2 nitrogens, 1 cyclic alkyne)
