Dr Perry Devo

Biography

Dr. Perry Devo is a computational chemist with a deep expertise in Density Functional Theory (DFT) and ab initio calculations. His journey in the field began at the University of Greenwich, where he earned a first-class Integrated Master’s degree in Chemistry (MCHEM).

Following his Master’s, Dr. Devo pursued a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry, further solidifying his foundation in the field. His doctoral research was centred around the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma. It was during this time Dr Devo applied his knowledge of molecular dynamics, DFT and ab initio methods to medicinal chemistry, providing valuable insights into the design of new drugs.

While completing his Ph.D., Dr. Devo took on the role of a Scientific Officer in a Mass Spectrometry department. In this capacity, he applied his expertise in computational chemistry and machine learning to real-world problems, developing predictive algorithms that have since been used in the creation of novel analytical methods for the detection and quantification of several classes of small molecules.
