Philip Groves

Philip Groves specialises in the chemicals sector, although he has been involved in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications in a wide range of technical fields. These include pharmaceuticals, coatings, food production, mechanical devices, nanomaterials and industrial machinery.

Before joining UDL, Philip studied the mechanisms of light-induced protein degradation. His research encompassed a wide range of chemical, physical and biological knowledge, such as photochemistry, biological structures and fundamental photophysical processes. The interdisciplinary nature of Philip’s research sparked a desire to broaden his knowledge into the wider chemical and engineering industries.

Philip has a particular interest in the development and application of green technologies, as well as ground-breaking analytical techniques.

Philip joined UDL in September 2018 and subsequently Murgitroyd as part of the addition of UDL in October 2021. Philip is based in our Leeds Office.

Core expertise: chemistry, materials, advanced materials, battery, hydrogen fuel cell and energy storage technology, green chemistry.
