PROFESSOR DUNCAN BRUCE graduated from the University of
Liverpool (UK), where he also gained his Ph D. In 1984, he took up a
Temporary Lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of
Sheffield and was awarded a Royal Society Warren Research
Fellowship. He was then appointed Lecturer in Chemistry and was
promoted Senior Lecturer in 1994, in which year he became
co-director of the Sheffield Centre for Molecular Materials. In
1995, he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the
University of Exeter. Following the closure of Exeter’s chemistry
department in 2005, Professor Bruce took up his present position as
Professor of Materials Chemistry in York. He is currently Chair of
the Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Forum. His
current research interests include liquid crystals and
nanoparticle-doped, nanostructured, mesoporous silicates. His work
has been recognized by various awards including the British Liquid
Crystal Society’s first Young Scientist prize and the RSC’s Sir
Edward Frankland Fellowship and Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize. He
has held visiting positions in Australia, France, Japan and Italy.
DR. RICHARD WALTON, who was also formerly based in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Exeter, now works in
the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick. His
research group works in the area of solid-state materials chemistry
and has a number of projects focusing upon the synthesis,
structural characterization and properties of inorganic
materials.
DERMOT O’HARE is Professor in the Chemistry Research
Laboratory at the University of Oxford. is research group has a
wide range of research interests. They all involve synthetic
chemistry ranging from organometallic chemistry to the synthesis of
new microporous solids. Duncan Bruce and Dermot O’Hare have edited
several editions of Inorganic Materials published by John
Wiley & Sons Ltd.
