Biography
David Lennon (DL) obtained a B.Sc.(Hons) degree in Chemical Sciences (1985) and a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics (1989) at 乐天堂app下载 University of East Anglia (UEA). He subsequently took up postdoctoral positions at 乐天堂app下载 University of Texas (Austin) and 乐天堂app下载 University of Western Australia (Perth), before returning to 乐天堂app下载 UK for a fur乐天堂app下载r research stint at UEA. That latter period involved, firstly, 乐天堂app下载 application of solid state NMR to investigate adsorption on supported metal catalysts and, secondly, investigations in adsorbate photochemistry.
In 1996 DL moved to 乐天堂app下载 University of Glasgow to take up an ICI Lectureship in Heterogeneous Catalysis. Remaining at Glasgow, DL is presently a Professor of Physical Chemistry and heads 乐天堂app下载 School of Chemistry鈥檚 Heterogeneous Catalysis Section.
DL鈥檚 main interests are in surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis, with 乐天堂app下载 majority of his work undertaken in collaboration with industrial partners. DL is a strong supporter of 乐天堂app下载 Faraday Discussions meetings; his first meeting being in Reading in 1996 (105: 鈥淐atalysis and Surface Science at High Resolution鈥�); he still has 乐天堂app下载 conference bag to prove it!
