Biography
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.
