Professor Paul Raithby, Head of the Department of Chemistry, was recently interviewed in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Chemical Communications, marking his contributions as one of the UK’s most prolific published chemists.
The interview is part of a series recognising the small number of chemists worldwide who have published more than 100 papers in ChemComm, the RSC flagship communications journal and accepted as one of the top chemistry journals in the world.
The interview touches on Paul’s research and approach to science, starting from his very first paper in 1974 (in ChemComm, as it happens), through to his current leading-edge work in the study of metastable solid-state materials using the techniques of photocrystallography that he has been developing for several years, most recently as an EPSRC Senior Fellow.
