Research director joins EPRSC

Professor Martin Snowden has been invited to become a member of the prestigious Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Professor Martin Snowden, Director of Research for the School of Science at the University of Greenwich at Medway, has been invited to become a member of the prestigious Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPRSC).

Professor Snowden will be joining an elite panel of scientists in the EPRSC Peer Review College advising the Government on its investment of GBP 500 million to fund research and postgraduate training in engineering, maths, physics, chemistry, materials and information technology, and links between these and life sciences.

"It is an honour to be invited to work with the EPRSC and a reflection of the reputation Medway Science has gained as a centre of excellence", said Professor Snowden.

He will serve the EPRSC Peer Review College for three years from the start of his appointment in January.

College members are generally expected to provide up to 12 referee reports each year and take part in prioritisation panels ranking research proposals.

Professor Snowden is a physical chemist with an international research reputation for his work in colloid and polymer science.

His strong links with industry have generated more than GBP 3 million in research funding.

As an active consultant, he is regularly invited to deliver short courses and to provide advice on colloid and polymer science to industrial organisations including Procter and Gamble, BP Amoco and Glaxo Smith Kline.
