معرفی
Lynn F. Gladden is Professor and Shell Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge, serving as Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research since 2010 and Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology since 2008. She is a Fellow of Trinity College.
Education
- BSc in Chemical Physics, University of Bristol, 1982
- PhD in Physical Chemistry, University of Cambridge, 1987
Research Interests
Professor Gladden's pioneering work focuses on magnetic resonance applications in catalysis and chemical engineering processes. Her research bridges physical chemistry and process engineering, developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for real-time monitoring of catalytic reactions and industrial chemical processes. This interdisciplinary approach has established new methodologies for analyzing reaction dynamics in complex engineering systems.
