Chemistry Collaborator and Networker, Joanna Collingwood, promoted to Professor of Engineering.

Professor Collingwood is an active collaborator with researchers in Chemistry. Read about her contribution to the discovery of microscopic metallic particles in the human brain.

Having trained in Physics at the Universities of York (MPhys) and Warwick (PhD), Jo subsequently specialized in the areas of trace metals analysis, high resolution imaging, and neurodegenerative disorders. After a period at Keele University (UK) and University of Florida (UK), during which she held research fellowships from the Alzheimer's Society, Dunhill Medical Trust, EPSRC, and RCUK, she was appointed to a lectureship in the School of Engineering at University of Warwick, and is a Professor in the Systems and Information stream.

She has established links at international facilities including the Argonne National Laboratories (USA), the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (USA), and the Diamond Light Source synchrotron (Oxford, UK) where she chaired the synchrotron user committee from its formation, and served as the UK representative for the European Synchrotron Users Organization.

Joanna formerly founded and co-led the Warwick Medical Imaging Network, and served on the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Advisory Panel for Public Engagement and the Alzheimer’s Society Biomedical Grant Advisory Board. Currently she is a review panel member for the SOLEIL synchrotron.

Congratulations Jo on this well-deserved recognition of your excellence - we are proud to have you as part of our Chemistry Women's Network and are grateful as a department to benefit from your scientific expertise and generous spirit.
