Biography
David Lennon (DL) obtained a B.Sc.(Hons) degree in Chemical Sciences (1985) and a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics (1989) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). He subsequently took up postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas (Austin) and the University of Western Australia (Perth), before returning to the UK for a further research stint at UEA. That latter period involved, firstly, the application of solid state NMR to investigate adsorption on supported metal catalysts and, secondly, investigations in adsorbate photochemistry.
In 1996 DL moved to the University of Glasgow to take up an ICI Lectureship in Heterogeneous Catalysis. Remaining at Glasgow, DL is presently a Professor of Physical 九州影院 and heads the School of 九州影院鈥檚 Heterogeneous Catalysis Section.
DL鈥檚 main interests are in surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis, with the majority of his work undertaken in collaboration with industrial partners. DL is a strong supporter of the 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 the conference bag to prove it!
