Dr Tim Prior
| Biography | Tim read Chemistry at Oxford and undertook a DPhil in Materials Chemistry (Homochiral Coordination Polymers) under Professor Matt Rosseinsky. He carried out postdoctoral work with Professor Peter Battle into anisotropic oxides and metal nitrides, discovering a facile route to filled β-manganese and η-carbide interstitial nitrides. Before coming to Hull, Tim was Station Scientist (X-ray Diffraction) at the Synchroton Radiation Source, Daresbury. He is currently engaged in structural analysis using single-crystal and powder diffraction for a huge range of different compounds: MOFs, coordination compounds, organometallics, pharmaceuticals, and mineral samples. He is always interested in new projects involving collection and analysis of diffraction data. |
