Jeremy is an enthusiastic supporter of interdisciplinary research, combining theory, computation and experiment within chemistry, and though the e-Science programme growing this to the wider computational and computing community together with industrial research. Most recently his role in the Digital Economy programme through the IT as a Utility Network challenge area, addressed the full breadth of interdisciplinary research connecting social, physical, and life sciences in a trans-sectorial context bridging academic, commercial, and governmental areas. I obtained my DPhil on experimental and theoretical aspects of van der Waals complexes, in the PCL, Oxford, followed by a NATO/SERC fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. In 1984 I took up a lectureship at the University of Southampton, where I am now Professor of Physical Chemistry. My experimental chemical research probes molecular organization in environments ranging from single molecules to liquid interfaces using laser spectroscopy from the IR to the soft X-ray region. In parallel I investigate how e-Science/e-Reserach and Cyber-infrastructure can support scientific research with an emphasis on the way appropriate use of laboratory infrastructure can support the intelligent access to scientific data, for example our LabTrove (www.labtrove.org) researcher centric electronic laboratory notebookSpecialties: Physical Chemistry, Laser Technology, e-Research, e-Science, Chemical Informatics
