WebsiteProf Brian E Hayden

He graduated with a BSc in 1976 and a PhD in 1979 from the University of Bristol.[3] He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society from 1979 to 1984 developing surface sensitive optical spectroscopies, including ellipsometry and reflection absorption infra-red spectroscopy, for the investigation of adsorbed molecules on single crystal surfaces.[2] He was a lecturer at the University of Bath from 1984 to 1988, developing supersonic molecular beam techniques to study reaction dynamics at single crystal metal surfaces.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Fellow of the Institute of Physics, has an h-index of 38, and is the author of over 18 active patent families including new catalysts and materials for low temperature fuel cells and solid state Li-ion batteries.[2] He is a founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Ilika plc, a pioneer in solid-state battery technology.[4]
