Assistant Professor
UC Irvine
University of California, Irvine, United States
Joe was born in Nottingham, England. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of York, UK, and conducted his masters research project with Cytec Engineered Materials at the Wilton Centre. He completed his PhD in radical polymer chemistry and self-assembly at the University of Warwick, UK, in 2013, working under the supervision of Professor Rachel O’Reilly. He went on to work for Professor Nathan C. Gianneschi and Professor Kimberly Prather at the University of California San Diego, USA, and the Centre for Aerosol Impacts on Climate and Environment (CAICE) as a postdoctoral scholar. In 2016 he joined the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, working in the Laboratory of Materials and Interface Chemistry led by Professor Nico Sommerdijk. In July 2018, Joe joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. His interests involve the development of new materials through a deep understanding of their structure and dynamics. For his work in this area he has been awarded several prizes including the Domino/MacroGroupUK Young Polymer Scientist of the Year in 2011, the 2013 Jon Weaver PhD prize and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual fellowship in 2017. In 2020, Joe received the UCI Beall Innovator Award and the American Chemical Society PRF Doctoral New Investigator Award. Recently, Joe has been selected as the recipient of the UCI 2022 Department of Chemistry Excellence in Mentorship Award. In November 2022, Joe received the Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Active Award on abstract titled: Ring-Opening Polymerization-Induced Crystallization-Driven Self-Assembly. In December 14th, 2022, Joe was recognized as one of the 2022 Rising Stars in Polymers by ACS Polymers Au. Recently (as of March 17th, 2023), Joe received the Burton Medal From the Microscopy Society of America in recognition of his work to advance microscopic techniques in research.
