2019 ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Electrochemistry: Patrick Unwin, University of Warwick

Patrick Unwin obtained his BSc at the University of Liverpool (1985) and DPhil at the University of Oxford (1989). After positions as Junior Research Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford and NATO Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, he moved to the University of Warwick in 1992, where he founded the Electrochemistry & Interfaces Group, which he now co-leads with Julie Macpherson. Pat became Professor of Chemistry at Warwick in 1998. Pat’s group is particularly well known for pioneering innovative nanoscale electrochemical imaging techniques of wide applicability. More than 70 PhD student graduates and 30 postdoctoral fellows have been supervised by Pat and gone on to successful careers around the world in academia, industry, education and management. Pat is the author of almost 400 papers and book chapters. He has received a number of awards, including the Marlow Medal, Corday-Morgan Medal, Barker Medal and Tilden Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Experimental Electrochemistry Prize (2017) from the International Society of Electrochemistry, and the Reilley Award from the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry (2018). A Fellow of the RSC and ISE, Pat is a member of a number of editorial committees including Langmuir and Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry.
