Professor Philip Bartlett
Electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and templated electrodeposition of nanomaterials
Profile
Professor Philip Bartlett is a world leader in electrochemistry research and development. He has developed techniques for depositing material at the nanoscale and for controlling the nanostructure of deposits. He has also worked on sophisticated biosensors that can sense blood glucose, volatiles, and discriminate mutations in DNA.
Philip’s deep understanding of underlying kinetic processes enable him and his research team to set conditions to direct how materials are deposited on a surface, or to amplify and detect the electrical changes that occur due to specific reactions.
Philip studied chemistry at the University of Oxford and was awarded a British Petroleum Scholarship to do a PhD in photoelectrochemistry at Imperial College. He held academic roles at the universities of Warwick and Bath before joining Southampton, where he is currently Professor of Electrochemistry.
His many awards include the Geoffrey Barker Medal for electrochemistry from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Carl Wagner Memorial Award from the Electrochemical Society, and the Electrochimica Acta Gold Medal of the International Society of Electrochemistry.
