个人简介

Paul F. McMillan holds the Ramsay Chair in the Chemistry Department at UCL. His research and teaching activities are based within the Inorganic and Materials Chemistry section but his work is highly interdisciplinary and extends into areas from Earth and planetary sciences to extremophile biology and biophysics. His group currently consists of 4 postdocs, 2 PhD students and 2 MRes students. Research in inorganic materials includes the synthesis and characterisation of layered, polymeric and three-dimenensional structured carbon nitrides being developed for energy applications. That work includes developing exfoliation strategies to achieve solutions of single- to few-layered graphene-like sheets of the semiconducting materials. Other projects include high pressure-high temperature synthesis of novel materials and investigations of natural and synthetic mineral structures. In collaboration with rsearchers at the Royal Veterinary College he is developing Raman spectroscopy based strategies for early diagnostic testing of cartilage disease. He also investigates the high pressure survivability and adapation of extremophile bacteria as well as their proton dynamics and electrochemical behaviour. He has worked at UCL since 2000 (2000-7: Professor of Solid Chemistry at UCL and the Royal Institution; 2008-present: Sir William Ramsay Chair of Chemistry). Before this, he was Presidential Professor of the Sciences and Director of the Center for Solid State Science at Arizona State University.
