Jas Pal Singh Badyal (born 1964) FRS[2] is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Durham University.[3]
Education
Badyal was educated at the University of Cambridge where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Sciences in 1985 followed by a PhD in 1988 on the surface science of ruthenium-titania heterogeneous catalysts.[4]
Career and research
Following his PhD, Badyal held a King’s College, Cambridge research fellowship and the Cambridge University Oppenheimer Research Fellowship. He was appointed a Lecturer at Durham University in 1989 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1996[2] where he has worked since.
Badyal is internationally recognised for his pioneering research on the functionalisation of solid surfaces and deposition of functional nanolayers. Badyal has invented a wide range of novel surfaces for technological and societal applications. These have been underpinned by the investigation of fundamental mechanisms and scale-up. Examples include: antibacterial, fog harvesting, catalysis, non-fouling, optochiral switches, filtration, biochips, super-repellency, and nano-actuation.[2]
Awards and honours
Badyal was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry Edward Harrison Memorial Prize in 1993 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016.[2]
