معرفی
Harry Allcock is the Atherton Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University's Eberly College of Science, Department of Chemistry. He holds courtesy appointments in Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. His career includes postdoctoral research at Purdue University and the National Research Council of Canada, industrial experience at American Cyanamid Co., and sabbaticals at Stanford University, Imperial College London, IBM, and others.
Education: B.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of London, postdoctoral training at Purdue University and National Research Council of Canada.
Research focuses on hybrid inorganic-organic polymers, particularly polyphosphazenes, with applications in biomaterials, energy materials, and advanced composites. Key areas include polymer synthesis methodologies, structure-property relationships, and collaborations in optoelectronics, biomedical engineering, and materials science.
Awards: Over 30 years of recognition including National Academy of Engineering membership (2014), ACS Paul Flory Award (2010), and multiple polymer chemistry awards. Notable honors include Guggenheim Fellowship (1985-86) and Evan Pugh Professorship (1985-present).
Publications span over 600 articles and two textbooks, emphasizing polyphosphazene-based materials. His Allcock Group collaborates extensively on biomedical materials, optoelectronic polymers, and advanced elastomers.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Allcock Research Group, specializing in polymer innovation with cross-disciplinary collaborations in materials science and biomedical engineering.
