معرفی
Professor Harry Anderson FRS is a leading academic at the University of Oxford, affiliated with Keble College and the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on designing functional molecular materials, particularly porphyrin-based nanostructures, single-molecule electronics, and novel carbon allotropes like cyclocarbons. Key projects include exploring quantum-coherent energy delocalization in porphyrin nanorings, developing molecular electronic devices using gold and graphene electrodes, and stabilizing cyclocarbons under ambient conditions.
Anderson’s work integrates synthesis with advanced techniques such as EPR spectroscopy, STM break-junction measurements, and theoretical modeling. His group collaborates with physicists and materials scientists to study electronic structure, charge transport, and aromaticity in molecular systems. Notable achievements include creating the largest known aromatic macrocycles and demonstrating phase-coherent charge transport through porphyrin nanoribbons.
