Richard Anthony Lewis Jones (born 1961)[4][5] FInstP FLSW FRS[6] is professor of Materials Physics and Innovation Policy at the University of Manchester having been professor of physics at the University of Sheffield until 2020.[7][1][8][9]

Education

Jones was educated at Denstone College[4] and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he studied the Natural Sciences Tripos and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics 1983.[4] He continued his study at the University of Cambridge where his PhD investigated diffusion in polymer blends.[10]

Career and research

After postdoctoral research at Cornell University, he was appointed a lecturer at the University of Cambridge based at the Cavendish Laboratory[4] and in 1998 was appointed a professor at the University of Sheffield.[11]

Jones' research[1][8] investigates the physics of Polymers and Biopolymers at surfaces and interfaces, with implications for polymer blends.[6][2] He pioneered the use of ion beam methods to study the segregation of one component to the surface of a blend.[6] This in turn led to experiments on capillary wave broadening of interfaces, using neutron reflectivity.[6] His experiments on the thickness-dependence of Glass transitions[12] in thin films has stimulated a new research field.[6][13] He has extended his studies to the denaturation of proteins at interfaces, demonstrating how the surface hydrophilicity has a strong effect, with implications for problems ranging from fouling to disease.[6][14]

In 2018 he co-authored The Biomedical Bubble[3] with James Wilsdon [Wikidata], which argued that United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) needs a greater diversity of priorities, politics, places and people.[15][16][17][18][19]

In 2020, Jones moved to Manchester.[20]

Awards and honours

Jones was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2006 for "substantial contributions to the improvement of natural knowledge".[6]

In 2008 he won the Institute of Physics David Tabor Medal and Prize.[21]

In 2021, Jones was elected a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.[22]
