I joined Nature Research in 2012 as an editor handling a range of topics in chemistry and materials science for Nature Communications. There I subsequently managed the inorganic and physical chemistry team, before becoming Chief Editor of Communications Chemistry in 2017. Prior to joining Nature Research I obtained my PhD in inorganic chemistry at the University of Manchester, with postdoctoral work at Université Paris Sud XI. I am based in the London office. Luke left Springer Nature in July 2019.
