嘉宾介绍：
Prof. Lee Cronin received his B.Sc. (1994) and Ph.D. (1997) degrees from the University of York. In 2002, he moved to the University of Glasgow, UK, as a Lecturer in Chemistry. He became Reader at the University of Glasgow in 2005, EPSRC Advanced Fellow and Professor of Chemistry in 2006, and in 2009 became the Gardiner Professor. In 2013 he became the Regius Professor of Chemistry (Glasgow). Prof. Lee Cronin has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles that have amassed >12,000 citations in the world’s leading scientific journals and has given over 250 invited presentations at conferences and universities across the world.
The focus of Cronin’s work is understanding and controlling self-assembly and self-organisation in Chemistry to develop functional molecular and nano-molecular chemical systems; linking architectural design with function and recently engineering system-level functions (e.g. coupled catalytic self-assembly, emergence of inorganic materials and fabrication of inorganic cells that allow complex cooperative behaviours). Much of this work is converging on exploring the assembly and engineering of emergent chemical systems. One target is the development of ‘inorganic biology’ i.e. a biological system beyond the naturally occurring ‘organic biology’ found on planet earth. Not only does this have ramifications for the origin of life on earth, elsewhere in the universe, the realisation of a living system assembled from the bottom up would also lead to a range of new technologies. Cronin is also developing several new ‘reaction-formats’ for chemical reactions as well as applications in catalysis, energy, and coatings. These include flow reactors for evolvable chemistry, 3D-printing ‘wetfab’ for the democratisation of chemistry e.g. synthesis of drugs important for the developing world (e.g. anti-malaria) as well as counterfeit drug sensors.
