You can update the information for this section in Pure (opens in a new tab).
Research groups
Any research groups you belong to will automatically appear on your profile. Speak to your line manager if these are incorrect. Please do not raise a ticket in Ask HR.
Research interests
Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page. Keep these brief and focus on the keywords people may use when searching for your work. Use a different line for each one.
In Pure (opens in a new tab), select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading 'Curriculum and research description', select 'Add profile information'. In the dropdown menu, select 'Research interests: use separate lines'.
Current research
Update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’ and then ‘Curriculum and research description - Current research’.
Describe your current research in 100 to 200 words. Write in the third person. Include broad key terms to help people discover your work, for example, “sustainability” or “fashion textiles”.
Research projects
Research Council funded projects will automatically appear here. The active project name is taken from the finance system.
Publications
Public outputs that list you as an author will appear here, once they’re validated by the ePrints Team. If you’re missing any outputs that you’ve added to Pure, they may be waiting for validation.
Supervision
Current PhD Students
Contact your Faculty Operating Service team to update PhD students you supervise and any you’ve previously supervised. Making this information available will help potential PhD applicants to find you.
Teaching
Jeremy's teaching interests cover a broad range of physical and environmental chemistry together with areas of data science. Jeremy is very interested in new ways of teaching, learning and dissemination of chemical ideas, and is currently looking at how AI will change the nature of the way we teach Chemistry.
You can update your teaching description in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’ , select ‘Add profile information’. In the dropdown menu, select – ‘Teaching Interests’. Describe your teaching interests and your current responsibilities. Aim for 200 words maximum.

Biography
Jeremy Frey obtained his DPhil on experimental and theoretical aspects of van der Waals complexes, in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, funder the supervision of Prof. Brian Howard. He followed this with a NATO/SERC fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory with Prof. Yuan T. Lee. In 1984 Jeremy took up a lectureship at the University of Southampton, where he is now Professor of Physical Chemistry and Head of the Computational Systems Chemistry Group.
Jeremy’s experimental research probes molecular organization in environments from single molecules to liquid interfaces using laser spectroscopy from the IR to soft X-rays. In parallel he investigates how e-Science infrastructure helps to make a smart and intelligent laboratory, where people, equipment and computers can all work well together. This blends into his computational and theoretical side he has a focus on chemical informatics and the application of novel mathematical approaches, such as Topological Data Analyst (TDA) and computational advances in Machine Learning (ML), to chemical modelling.
Jeremy is an enthusiastic supporter of interdisciplinary research, combining theory, computation and experiment within chemistry, and though the UK e-Science programme his interests grew into the wider computational and computing community together with industrial research. In his role in the Digital Economy programme through the IT as a Utility Network challenge area, and now the Internet of Food Things (www.foodchain.ac.uk), he addressed the full breadth of interdisciplinary research connecting social, physical, and life sciences in a trans-sectorial context bridging academic, commercial, and governmental areas. Jeremy is now the PI of the EPSRC Network+ on Artificial Intelligence and Automated Scientific Discovery (www.ai3sd.org) encouraging the collaborations at the cutting edge of AI and Chemical Sciences.
Jeremy is involved with the national and international chemical societies though the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and Society for the chemical Industry (SCI), and in IUPAC Jeremy has been a member of DIv 1 Committee and CPCDS, formally Chair of Commission I.1, advocating engagement with the digital world and leads the 5th Edition Green Book project.
