REPORT OF DR. LEE’S PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY FOR THE YEAR ENDED

31^st JULY 2005

This is the last annual report of the present Dr. Lee’s Professor as head of sub-department, and it must start with an apology for its late appearance. 2004 – 2005 was a year of many transitions in the P.T.C.L. The major ones include the election of a new Coulson Chair following Professor Mark Child’s retirement, the appointment of two new U.L.’s, and the appointment of a new head of sub-department and a new administrator, while two of our own U.L.’s left to take up Chairs elsewhere. But I start as is traditional by extending the department’s warm congratulations to members who have been honoured in different ways. Dr. Colin Bain gave the 2005 McBain Lecture at the National Chemical laboratory in Pune, India, in May. Professor David Clary was elected as President of Magdalen College, gave the Thomas Graham Lecture at University College, London, and was appointed to the Chemistry Panel for the forthcoming Research Assessment Exercise. Professor Richard Compton is the 2005/6 Tilden Lecturer (Physical Chemistry) of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and was also awarded the 2006 Breyer Medal (to be presented in September 2006). Professor Jacob Klein presented the Prize Lecture of the Colloid and Interface Division of the Japanese Chemical Society in Yamaguchi in Japan. Professor David Logan was elected to the Coulson Chair of Theoretical Chemistry. Professor David Manolopoulos was awarded the title of Professor of Chemistry. Dr. C. K. Skylaris gave a prize-winning invited talk at the Cranfield-Cambridge High Performance Computing Facility event in Cambridge. Of our emeritus colleagues, Professor Keith McLauchlan was elected Fellow of the EPR Society, while several of our younger members were honoured by prestigious appointments or awards: in Professor Gus Hancocks group, Dr. Rob Peverall was awarded an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship and Nicola van Leeuwen was awarded a New Zealand Science and Technology Postdoctoral Fellowship. In Professor Peter Hore’s group, Christopher Rodgers was awarded a North Senior Scholarship at St. John’s College; Ilya Kuprov was elected to a Fellowship by Examination at Magdalen College; and Lars Kuhn was awarded a Graduate Scholarship by the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes. In Professor Jacob Klein’s group, Dr. Wuge Briscoe was elected to a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College, Meng Chen was awarded a College Overseas Scholarship at St. Catherine’s College, and Susan Perkin was elected to a stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship at Merton College.

We congratulate Professor Paul Madden who left to take a Chair in the Chemistry department of Edinburgh University, Dr. Frank Schreiber who left to take a Chair in the Physics Department of Tubingen University in Germany, Dr. Colin Bain on his appointment to a Chair (from October 2005) in the Chemistry department at Durham University, and Dr. Christiane Timmel on her appointment to a University Lecturership in the ICL. Professor Mark Child retired as the Coulson Professor of Theoretical Chemistry, and we wish him a rewarding and fruitful retirement. The departure of Mark, Paul, Colin and Frank was marked by a memorable dinner in Corpus Christi College. We were delighted to welcome two new University Lecturers to the PTCL, Dr. Claire Vallance, a Royal Society URF already with us for some years, and Dr. Mark Wallace, a Royal Society URF in Biological Chemistry, and look forward to the appointment of several more new University Lecturerships to the PTCL in the coming year.

On the administrative front, Mr. Nigel Mogg, who had been a mainstay of the department as Departmental Administrator during his 11 years with us, retired to administer his family farm. At a personal level, I recall with gratitude Nigel’s very helpful and unflappable support when (quite new to Oxford) I first took up the headship of the PTCL. Nigel’s leaving was marked by a most enjoyable dinner, attended by many from across the academic, technical and administrative staff; it was an occasion where the mutually-committed and family-like atmosphere of the PTCL was much in evidence. We were very happy to welcome Mr. Michael (Mike) Gardner as the new Departmental Administrator from October 2004. Professor Gus Hancock was appointed as the new head of department (from October 2005) following the end of Professor Jacob Klein’s 5-year tenure.

The department hosted several distinguished visitors and outside lecturers during the year, not only in the four regular and active seminar series, but also on a number of special occasions. The Hinshelwood lectures were given in Trinity Term 2005 by Professor Christian Amatore of the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, who described how electrochemistry and microelectrodes may be used in ingenious ways to probe a wide range of effects, from microfluidics to cellular metabolism. Professor Richard Saykally of the Chemistry Department in Berkeley was elected as the 2006 Hinshelwood Lecturer. A one-day symposium was arranged around the Royal Society of Chemistry Centenary Lecture, on “the Chemistry of Interstellar Space”, given by Professor Eric Herbst of Ohio State University. We were very pleased to host Professor Jacob Israelachvili, of the University of California in Santa Barbara, who also gave two lectures in the department, as our 2005 Schlumberger Visiting Professor. The generous endowment of these Visiting Professorships was enabled through the good offices of Professor Geoffrey Maitland (who did his D.Phil. in the department long ago) when he was a research director at Schlumberger. It allowed us over the past few years to bring very distinguished colleagues (including Michael Klein, David Chandler and Dick Zare) for months-long visits to the PTCL, and also to organize an international workshop in the department.

In addition we were pleased to host many other visitors, including regulars who we are especially happy to welcome again. These included Prof. Ian Beattie (University of Southampton); Prof. Martin Goez (Martin Luther University, Halle); Dr. M. Hiyama (Inst. of Molecular Science, Okazaki Japan); Professor Kosugi (Inst. of Molecular Science, Okazaki Japan); Prof. Abraham Horowitz (Soreq Research Centre, Yavne, Israel); Dr. Zheng Jia (Harbin, China); Prof. Krishnamurphy (Bangalore, India); Dr. Yonghoon Lee, (Korean Advanced Institute for Science and Technology, Seoul, Korea); Prof. John Lekner (Victoria Univ. Wellington, NZ); Prof Elaine Marzluff (Grinnell College , Iowa, US); Prof. Zamik Rosenwaks (Ben Gurion Univ., Israel); Prof. Sato (Kyoto, Japan); Dr. Reider Lund (IFF-Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany); and Dr. Rodrigo Munoz (University of Sao Paulo, Brasil).

An international workshop on ‘Liquids in Thin Films and Interfaces’, sponsored by Schlumberger as part of their Visiting Professorships endowment, was organized by Professor Jacob Klein in the department, and attracted a distinguished group of participants.

Research performance remained strong over the year, with just under 250 publications by members of the PTCL (compared with 170 when the present Dr. Lee’s Professor first arrived in 2000, and easily surpassing the previous year’s record of 212). The number of graduate students was 101 at the year’s start, a 3-digit ‘first’ for the department (compared with 81 in October 2000), while income from research grants (with start dates within the period of the report) was, at £3.0M, significantly higher than the previous year.

I end this report by recalling very briefly a few of the many changes during my five years (2000-2005) as head of department. Tangible ones include the refurbished lecture theatre, the John Rowlinson seminar room (how did we ever manage without it?), and the annual lab photos. Less tangible but to my mind much more important are the increased and lively seminar activity, and the continuing strong research performance expressed in sustained research income, and record numbers of graduate students and research publications. It is also worth mentioning our success over this period in keeping our departmental budgetary ‘head’ more or less above water, while maintaining our outstanding workshops, lab services and administrative staff: All this at a time when major and sudden changes in the way in which the University distributes its money resulted in very severe constraints on our income. These achievements, a result of the efforts of all of us, bode well for the future. My best wishes to Professor Gus Hancock, the incoming head, for all success in his tenure.
