International Society of Electrochemistry Electrochemistry has one of the longest and most fascinating histories of any scientific discipline, yet remains more vital than ever to the challenges of the 21 st century. I believe passionately that the best of electrochemistry is yet to come and, if elected President of the ISE, would use the opportunity to enhance further the excellent work of the Society of the past few years. I am particularly keen to seek ways to promote the engagement of younger members and to strengthen the role of the Divisions. I have been a longstanding member of the ISE, serving as Chair and Past Chair of the Analytical Division (2004-08), and as a member of the organising committee of many symposia at ISE meetings (including the organising committee of the 2006 meeting in Edinburgh). My research interests are broad and overlap with the vast majority of Divisions.

Research interests Research centres on the development and application of novel techniques for probing physicochemical processes at interfaces, with applications in chemistry, the life sciences and materials science. A major interest is the development of quantitative interfacial flux imaging methods based on electrochemical principles. These techniques are being used to study a wide range of processes of fundamental and applied significance and are opening up major new insights on electrochemical and interfacial processes. Further interests include the rational development of electrochemical sensors and nanostructured materials for electrocatalysis.

Scientific leadership and Service to the Community ••• I founded the Warwick Electrochemistry & Interfaces Group from scratch in 1992, which has built an international scientific reputation and has developed outstanding facilities for research in electrochemistry and interfacial science. More than 40 PhD students (60% women ) have g raduated successfully, together with 20 postdoctoral researchers , including 6 Marie Curie Research Fellows. These researchers have gone on to academic positions in the UK (to full professor level), continental Europe, the USA, Australia, China, and Brazil and to positions in industry, commerce, science policy, administration and teaching. The Group currently comprises > 30 postdoctoral Fellows, PhD students and Masters students, from > 12 different countries , supported by a range of funding and working on a diversity of projects in a dynamic multidisciplinary environment. ••• I was Founding Director of the Warwick Centre for Analytical Science (2008-11), the only centre in this area in the UK supported by the Research Councils (€5M grant). ••• I am one of 4 international Editors of Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry (since 2011). • Member of the international editorial boards of Electrochemistry Communications (since 1999), Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry (2004-2011), Progress in Reaction Kinetics (since 2005) and Advances in Physical Chemistry (since 2008). • Associate Editor of Analytical Sciences (2005-07). ••• Member of Faraday Council of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2011 – 2013 and 2003-05), contributing to the development physical chemistry in the UK. ••• I have been elected or appointed to numerous UK and international scientific and institutional committees , including: Chair (2005-08) and member (2001-05) of the Royal Society of Chemistry Electrochemistry Group Committee; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Chemistry Strategic Advisory Team (2004-06) advising on policy and funding in the UK; Member of the EPSRC peer review college since its inception and a regular member and Chair of peer review panels; External examiner (physical chemistry) for all BSc and MChem Chemistry-related programmes at the University of St. Andrews (2010 – 2013), Cardiff University (2005-08), the University of Liverpool (2008-2011) and the University of Oxford (2006-09). ••• I have been external examiner for > 50 PhD candidates at > 20 leading academic institutions in the UK and overseas (Switzerland, the Netherlands and Spain). ••• Organiser and member of the organising/advisory committees of > 20 conferences and workshops. ••• Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and American Chemical Society.
