Teaching and Research Interests:
1. Lead developer of the Open Source Java project
JSpecView for the
display of spectroscopic data.
2. Webmaster of the Department of Chemistry website where
I make extensive use of
Jmol and JSpecView to highlight
areas of general interest such as: the development of informative
web articles on the chemistry of Jamaican fruits, vegetables and
spices, the prospects of teaching chemistry via the World Wide
Web, multimedia computer applications in chemistry, use of JCAMP-DX file formats on the
Web.
3. Microwave Oven Reaction Enhanced (MORE) Chemistry.
4. The coordination chemistry of transition metal ions, in
particular with N-heterocycles, α-amino acids, diamines and
macrocyclic ligands.
5.
The History of the Chemistry Department at UWI, Mona, Jamaica.
Published in 2010 with Professor Emeritus Kenneth E Magnus
and available from Amazon.
6. The History of the Turner Family of Clarendon. Edward Turner
was the first Prof of Chemistry at the University of London
(1827-1837) and Wilton George Turner obtained a PhD in chemistry
from Justus von Liebig at Geissen in 1838.
