Richard is the Head of the Chemical Crystallography. His interests are in developing better ways of modelling diffraction experiments and using databases of crystal structure information to derive chemical and crystallographic knowledge.
Outside the confines of the department Richard “enjoys” running and learns karate. He is enthusiastic about cycling, but only for commuting – never … Read the rest

Kirsten’s research is focused on several areas that will establish a fundamental understanding of modulation in molecular materials e.g. their formation and properties. This knowledge can be put to immediate use in Crystal Engineering, and will also affect research in pharmaceuticals, developments in molecular modelling and crystal packing predictions.
See Kirsten’s Departmental web-page for further … Read the rest

Terry worked for the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell for many years before he joined Chem. Cryst.
Terry was one of the pioneers of the use of neutron scattering in the United Kingdom and a founder member of the BCA. Although interested in many areas of crystallography, his particular specialities are neutron scattering studies of … Read the rest
Keith Prout died quite suddenly in September 2007 after a short illness.
Although he had been officially retired for several years, he was continuing an active research program with Nick Rees combining X-ray and NMR studies. X-ray structure analysis gives information about disorder and thermal vibrations in crystals. When combined with solid state NMR … Read the rest
