George Jackson,
Early life and career
Jackson was born in Spain and grew up in Switzerland. He took a B.Sc. in chemistry at Chelsea College (1980-1983), followed by a D.Phil. in Physical Chemistry at Exeter College, University of Oxford (1983-1986). After postdoctoral work at Cornell University with Keith E. Gubbins (1986-1989), he became a lecturer and reader in physical chemistry at the University of Sheffield (1989-1998), and has been professor of Chemical Physics at Imperial College London since 2001.[2][3]
Research interests
Jackson's research centres on developing simplified but realistic mathematical models of complex fluids, which are used in industries such as
Awards
Jackson has won numerous honours and awards including a Research Excellence Award in 2009, a Guggenheim Medal awarded by the Institution of Chemical Engineers in 2014,[5] and the Bakhuis Roozeboom Medal by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2019.[4] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1995 and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2020.[2][3]
