After post-doctoral work in the Australian National University and University of Liverpool, he was appointed Lecturer in Edinburgh in 1978. He moved to Leicester in 1988, at the time the youngest Professor of Organic Chemistry in the UK, and then to Bristol in 1990. He has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Corday-Morgan and Natural Products Chemistry medals and the Tilden, Simonsen and Hugo Muller lectureships and, most recently, the Rita and John Cornforth Award for interdisciplinary research. He works on the chemistry and biosynthesis of biologically important microbial natural products. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) in 2006, and received an Honorary D.Sc. from Edinburgh in 2015.
Professor David O’Hagan studied chemistry at the University of Glasgow, graduating in 1982. He carried out a Ph.D. (1985) at the University of Southampton and then spent a postdoctoral year at the Ohio State University with Professor Heinz G. Floss. In 1986 he was appointed to the University of Durham where he explored natural product biosynthesis but also developed a strong interest in organo-fluorine chemistry. He remained at Durham until 2000 before moving to his current position as Professor and Head of Organic Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. His research interests extend from the synthesis and properties of organo-fluorine compounds, fluorination enzymology and through to fluorinated organic materials. He became the Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) in 2001, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) in 2004. He was awarded the RSC Malcolm Campbell Memorial Prize in Medicinal Chemistry in 2005, was a recipient of the RSC Tilden Medal in 2006/was the RSC ‘Natural Product Reports Award’ Lecturer in 2009, and was awarded the American Chemical Society (ACS) Award for ‘Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry’ in 2012. He received a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2013.

主讲人:Roger Falcone 美国物理学会主席(2018)、美国艺术科学学院院士
题 目:Science with Coherent X-Rays
主讲人简介:
Roger Falcone教授是加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校物理学教授,也是劳伦斯伯克利实验室先进光源X射线同步加速器主任。他的研究小组使用高能激光器,短脉冲激光器和无X射线电子激光器来研究光与物质的相互作用。他们的工作包括使用强大的激光器在极端的压力和温度条件下研究物质,以及使用超短激光脉冲来研究化学动力学。最近的工作包括在高达十亿个大气压的物质压缩冲击下进行电离研究,以及进行新型化学结构的研究,例如在高度压缩的塑料中的钻石的外观。他担任保罗•谢勒研究所的咨询委员会,以及伯克利劳伦斯科学院教授咨询委员会(专注于K-12教育的科学中心),并在美国,亚洲,和欧洲多个委员会成员。他是美国物理学会的主席(2018年),是美国光学学会,美国物理学会,美国科学促进会及美国艺术与科学学院的成员。
Brief Introduction of Professor Roger Falcone
Roger Falcone is a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley and the director of the Advanced Light Source x-ray synchrotron facility at Lawrence Berkeley Lab. His research group uses high-energy lasers, short-pulse lasers, and x-ray free electron lasers to study the interaction of light with matter. Their work includes the use of powerful lasers to create matter under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, and the use of ultrashort laser pulses to study chemical dynamics. Recent work includes the study of ionization under shock compression of matter at pressures up to a billion-atmospheres, and the study of new chemistry and structures. He chairs the advisory board of the Paul Scherrer Institute and the faculty advisory committee of the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley (a science center focused on K-12 education), and serves on a variety of international advisory committees in the US, Asia, and Europe. He is the incoming president of the American Physical Society (2018), and is a fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
