Tim Jones transfers from Imperial and Peter Sadler from Edinburgh to further strengthen Warwick Chemistry's powerhouse. Peter Sadler will be the head of Warwick Chemistry from summer 2007. 

prof. Peter Sadler's research is at the interfaces between inorganic chemistry, biology and medicine and is concerned with the design and mechanism of action of novel therapeutic metal complexes.

prof. Tim Jones' research: The ability to control on the nanometre length scale the deposition, structure and functional properties of thin films is a crucial step in the development of a whole range of next generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Our research deals with the controlled growth of different types of semiconductor materials, both inorganic and organic, with the specific aim of developing new types of nanoscale thin film structures with well-defined properties. We have considerable expertise in a range of sophisticated thin film deposition techniques including molecular beam epitaxy and organic molecular beam deposition, which provide atomic and molecular levels of control over film thickness and property, and the application of scanning probe microscopies. Particular emphasis is placed on correlating thin film property with growth mechanism, the control of surface and interface properties, and the development of prototype device structures for applications as solar cells, light emitting diodes and chemical sensors.
