Prof. Tim Jones
 |
Professor of Physical Chemistry Room: C516 |
Tim obtained his PhD in 1988 from the Chemistry Department at Liverpool University where he worked under the joint supervision of Professors Neville Richardson and Stephen Holloway. He then worked for two years as a postdoctoral research assistant in the Surface Science Research Centre at Liverpool, and spent a short period working at the Fritz-Haber Institute in Berlin on a Fellowship funded by the DAAD. Tim was appointed Lecturer in the Chemistry Department at Imperial College London in 1991, and was promoted to Reader (1997) and Professor of Chemical Physics (1998), as well as becoming the STS/Sumitomo Professor of Electronic Materials (2000-05). He took on several managerial roles at Imperial including Head of the Electronic Materials Section in Chemistry (1999-2007), Director of the Centre for Electronic Materials and Devices (2001-07), and Co-Director of the London Centre for Nanotechnology (2002-07), the latter a joint venture between Imperial College and University College London. After spending more than 16 years at Imperial he moved to the Chemistry Department at the University of Warwick (2007) as part of the University's strategic investment in advanced materials research. He continues his research in advanced electronic materials and nanotechnology, in particular the development of novel inorganic and organic semiconductor thin films and nanostructures, with strong emphasis on the development of innovative structures for application in areas such as solar cells, sensors and light emitting diodes.
