This advanced workshop is for cleaning product pros who want to stay ahead of the competition.

Hear from Keynote, Jeremy Frey

Jeremy describes himself as a physical and digital chemist, with interests in promoting interdisciplinary research across the physical and life sciences – from laser spectroscopy and imaging to computational modelling and digital chemical duals.

Jeremy is heavily involved in the UK e-Science programme (the CombeChem Project), which, along with his role in the Digital Economy programme (IT as a Utility Network+), led to his role as PI of the AI for Scientific Discovery Network.  He is a co-I on the Physical Science Data Infrastructure project, Physical Science Data Science Service, and the AIchemy AI Hub. His most recent project, which evolved from a Basic Technology funded project to now working with the Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI), is to further develop the laser-driven high resolution soft x-ray microscope for biological imaging in the water window.

In the Royal Society of Chemistry, Jeremy is a committee member and former secretary of the Chemical Information and Computer Applications Interest group (CICAG). Jeremy is Vice President of the Physical and Bio-Physical Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), a member of the IUPAC Committee on Publications and Chemical Data Standards (CPCDS), and coordinates the projects for the Green Book (Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry).

Jeremy obtained his BA in 1980 and DPhil in 1982 in Chemistry from the University of Oxford.
