Alwyn Davies did his Ph.D. work in physical organic chemistry at University College London under the supervision of Sir Christopher Ingold, then worked for four years at Battersea Polytechnic in close association with Joseph Kenyon. He then returned to UCL where he has been successively Lecturer, Reader, and Professor. He has held visiting professorships at Indiana, Bordeaux, Freiburg, Deakin, and the Australian National University, and at the National Research Council (Ottawa). His work has covered the interconnecting themes of organic peroxides, organometallic chemistry, free radical chemistry, and the organic and organometallic applications of ESR spectroscopy, and his published work includes a book on Organic Peroxides (1961), and the first edition of Organotin Chemistry (1997).
