个人简介

Professor Colston is an analytical chemist with a PhD in chemistry and over 20 years post-doctoral research experience at UK academic institutions. Post-doctoral research at the University of Manchester (1988-1993)was in collaboration with the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA Harwell) and Nirex (UK), developing strategies for radioactive waste disposal. During the same period, she was engaged in consultancy/contract research within the University as a project manager for CAPCIS MARCH, establishing commercial-in-confidence research within the British nuclear industry, gaining national and international recognition as a radio-/nuclear chemist, and chairing the UK Radiochemistry Group (RSC) for a number of years. In 1997, Professor Colston was invited to spend a sabbatical year as Visiting Professor of Nuclear Chemistry at Florida State University, USA. Following the appointment in 1993 as Lecturer in Chemistry (initially within the Department of Chemistry, and subsequently the School of Pharmacy) at De Montfort University, Professor Colston rapidly established a research and consultancy group in heritage science, initially applying nuclear analytical techniques, and subsequently a broad range of analytical methodologies, to aspects of conservation and interpretation within the field of cultural heritage. This research continued in Lincoln, after being appointed as Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry in 2003, Reader in Analytical Chemistry and Heritage Science in 2007, and awarded a Chair in Analytical Chemistry and Cultural Heritage in 2010. As Director of the Historic and Ancient Materials Research Group, Professor Colston has embedded her cross-disciplinary research interests at Lincoln, building links with researchers in the School of Art and Design, and becoming an integral part of the Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research.
