Fraser Andrew ArmstrongFRS is a professor ofchemistry at theUniversity of Oxford[2] and aFellow ofSt John's College, Oxford.[3][4][5][6]
Fraser Armstrong was born in Cambridge, England, in 1951. He obtained hisBachelor of Science degree in 1975 followed by aPhD in 1978 from theUniversity of Leeds[7][8] supervised by Geoff Sykes.[9]
After his PhD, Armstrong carried outpostdoctoral research with Peter Kroneck (Konstanz), Ralph Wilkins (New Mexico),Helmut Beinert (Madison), andAllen Hill (Oxford).[citation needed]
In 1983 he was awarded aRoyal Society University Research Fellowship which he held in Oxford until 1989, when he joined the Chemistry Faculty at theUniversity of California, Irvine. He moved to his present position in 1993. His interests are in biological redox chemistry, in particular the application of dynamic electrochemical techniques in studies of complex electron-transfer and catalytic reactions in proteins (protein film voltammetry), and most recently the mechanisms and exploitation of biological hydrogen cycling. He was the president of theSociety of Biological Inorganic Chemistry (SBIC) from 2004 to 2006. WithKatherine Blundell he co-edited the bookEnergy... beyond Oil.[6]
