McBain Medal Award Lecture (12 December 2011, SCI HQ, London, UK)

Written by admin on . Posted in Past Meetings.

The McBain Medal is an annual award by the Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group of the SCI and the Colloid and Interface Chemistry Group of the RSC to honour a younger scientist who has made a meritorious contribution to colloid & interface science.

This one day meeting will incorporate the award of the McBain medal to Prof Adam Lee, who is a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Cardiff University and an EPSRC Leadership Fellow. His PhD is from the University of Cambridge, UK, where he studied with R M Lambert. After a Post-Doc in Cambridge Adam was appointed to lectureships at Hull (1997), and York (2003), where he co-founded the new surface chemistry and catalysis group, before moving to Cardiff in 2009. His research spans the breadth of colloid and surface chemistry including new surfactant-templated architectures, spectroscopic techniques for studying chemical dynamics at metal and metal oxide surfaces, the application of synchrotron radiation to in-situ and time-resolved studies of surface chemical processes and the surface modification of novel biomaterials.

Who should attend?

This meeting will be suitable for academia and industry, in particular researchers with interests in chemical engineering aspects. The breadth of the meeting will also make it suitable for students who wish to get an insight into the range of current research.

Membership

You can become a member by joining one of the two groups:

SCI Colloid & Surface Chemistry Group (CSCG).  http://www.soci.org/Membership-and-Networks/Technical-Groups/Colloid-and-Surface-Chemistry-Group

RSC Colloid & Interface Science Group (CISG). http://www.rsc.org/membership/networking/InterestGroups/colloidscience/

The former is open to SCI members only. The latter is open both to RSC members and associates AND to scientists and engineers who belong, either, to a chartered professional or learned body from outside the chemical sciences, or to another chemical society with whom the RSC has entered into an international partnership agreement approved by RSC Council. Non-RSC members of CISG pay RSC a small annual fee to cover administration and postage.

For information on how to become a member of the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) or Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) please see the links below:

Non-members of RSC wishing to join CISG should contact the RSC Membership Dept. (contact details at http://www.rsc.org/Membership/join/admission/Contacts.asp), asking to join the Colloid & Interface Science Interest Group, only, and mentioning their own affiliation.  The membership administration fee is £10 currently. In case of difficulty please contact a member of the Joint Committee.
