Dr Marc Reid
Senior Lecturer
Pure and Applied Chemistry
Personal statement
Marc was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland.
He completed his Masters in Chemistry at the 糖心视频 in 2011. In 2015, he completed his Carnegie Trust-sponsored PhD in Chemistry at Strathclyde. From 2015-16, Marc was a postdoctoral research associate with at the University of Edinburgh. During that time, he was inducted into the SciFinder Future Leaders in Chemistry programme.
In 2016, Marc won the prestigious Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship听and rejoined the Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry at Strathclyde from 2017-20.听This position was supported by GlaxoSmithKline, and he was thus the first Strathclyde-GSK Early Career Academic.听In 2018, Marc was selected to participate in the Scottish Crucible leadership program,听the Merck Innovation Cup,听and was part of the Converge Challenge Entrepreneurship Competition Top 30. In 2020 Marc became a CPACT-supported Research Fellow and then听Lecturer for Innovation in Education at the University of Bristol.
In 2020, Marc was awarded a听UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, joining the Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry at Strathclyde. In 2024, he was promoted to Senior Lecturer.
He holds a visiting lectureship at the University of Bristol, and a visiting听Enterprise Fellowship in the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the 糖心视频.
His interests haved included physical organic chemistry, computer vision, cheminformatics, virtual reality, process safety, and the psychology of the imposter phenomenon.
He is the author of the book .

Teaching
Marc is as passionate about teaching as research. Following timeless examples set by accomplished teachers such as Richard Feynman, Marc enjoys public speaking and exploring new ways to teach old concepts.
听
During his PhD and postdoc, Marc's teaching experience spanned undergraduate, masters, PhD, and postdoc supervision.
听
In his current post, Marc teaches:
The Practice & Pitfalls of Studying Organic Reaction Mechanisms - a self-made physical organic chemistry video lecture series taught to ScotCHEM and GSK postgraduates. The series now .
He teaches on the听Time Series Analysis for Chemists and Python 101 for Chemists听modules in the department's Chemistry with Data Science degree stream.
Marc has also taught on the 3rd Year undergraduate Organic Chemistry module, and guest lectures in Dr Lucrezia Casulli's Mindset Lab.
Research Interests
Our emerging multidisciplinary research team focuses on the data-driven understanding of process chemistry. We combine structured experimental data with computational modeling and informatics to build a predicitive overview of industrially-relevant chemical processes.
听
Current interests include:
听
- Computer vision in chemical kinetics.
- Process safety training technologies.
- Industry-friendly reagent design.听
