Craig Donald Campbell is a Departmental Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Oxford, specializing in Organic Chemistry. His research focuses on catalytic processes, particularly in the development of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. His work includes the design of enantioselective catalysts for β-lactam and ynamide synthesis, as well as mechanistic studies of palladium- and ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions. Campbell's research also explores the application of chiral NHCs in asymmetric acylation and the synthesis of azacyclic frameworks. Additionally, he contributes to educational initiatives in chemistry, emphasizing practical skills and innovative teaching methods.
